Anderson, Laurie Halse. Speak. United Sates: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1999. Print.

In this book, Melina Sordino is the main character. She has just experienced a very traumatic event last summer at the party hosted by her friend, Rachel. Melinda in high school now has no friends and she is thinking it was her fault. Clearly not, no one believes her when she reaches out in a desperate cry for help. Her whole life had gone downhill. Worst part is, the predator attends her school leaving Melinda on edge at all times. Everyone looks at her weirdly which only deepens the wounds of the event that changed her life in one second. However, things take a stumbling turn, as she finds out she is not the only victim. This story had me very anxious and very wanting in knowing what was going to happen next. This book also teaches a very good lesson, Never Be Silent. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for suspense with a story you wont forget about.
