Speak
Author: Laurie Halse Anderson
Summary: A girl ostracized by her former friends talks about going through the motions of her first year in high school and working on an art piece inspired by a tragic even that she could never speak up about.
Personal thoughts: I remember what it felt like being ostracized by people in high school and even middle school. When I read the part about "Ten lies they tell you in high school" and one of them being "These are the years you will look back on fondly" I started laughing and said to myself, "High school was the place I waited years to leave!"
Rating on a scale of 1 to 10: Definitely a 10! It was so hard to put down!
