Starting high school is never easy, but for Melinda Sordino it’s particularly rough after classmates find out that she was the reason why their big summer party was busted. Not only does she find herself friendless and openly scorned, she also can’t seem to use her voice. The acclaimed novel Speak was first published in 1999 and was made into a movie in 2004. Even if you are already familiar with this powerful story of a young woman finding the courage to speak out, this graphic novel version is absolutely worth your time. (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2019-2020)
