Speak: The Graphic Novel -- Laurie Halse Anderson

<p><b>The critically acclaimed, award-winning, modern classic <i>Speak</i> is now a stunning graphic novel.</b> <p/>"Speak up for yourself--we want to know what you have to say." From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless--an outcast--because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. Through her work on an art project, she is finally able to face what really happened that night: She was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. With powerful illustrations by Emily Carroll <i>Speak: The Graphic Novel </i>comes alive for new audiences and fans of Laurie Halse Anderson's classic novel.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Laurie Halse Anderson<br><b>Publisher:</b> Square Fish<br><b>Published:</b> 10/31/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 384<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.40h x 6.00w x 1.10d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781250294760<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-18<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><b>Laurie Halse Anderson</b> is the <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling author who writes for all ages.
