Laurie Halse Anderson
From her first moment at Merryweather High, Melinda Sordino knows she's an outcast. She busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops - a major infraction in high-school society - so her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't know glare at her. She retreats into her head, where the lies and hypocrisies of high school stand in stark relief to her own silence, making her all the more mute.
But it's not so comfortable in her head, either - there's something banging around in there that she doesn't want to think about. Try as she might to avoid it, it won't go away, until there is a painful confrontation. Once that happens, she can't be silent - she must speak the truth.
In this powerful audiobook, an utterly believable, bitterly ironic heroine speaks for many a disenfranchised teenager while learning that, although it's hard to speak up for yourself, keeping your mouth shut is worse.

The realistic nature of the book may be difficult for some people to read. They may have experienced similar episodes. However, if it can help victims to speak or potential suspects to recognize the wrongness of their actions, then this book will have made a difference.

I would love to see this book get on the state reading list for schools. It is timeless. It is positive. It is truth.

💖One of the most powerful parts of the book is not from the story, nor is it from the author or in her interview. It is the afterward that brought my heart to a stop. If only every man, woman, & child could hear, breath, & live what this man's mother taught him about women! 💖
