Speak


I read a great book called Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. If you like books that revolve you a BIG secret that will describe all the actions in the rest of the story then pick this book!! I chose this book because it was recommended to me by a teacher! I think it is a great story to describe a girls life and what happened to her! It is 197 pages long but its a easy book to read if you like it!
Melinda (the main character) had a lot of things in her life she hated! She started out school with EVERYONE hating her for a specific reason! She got bullied a lot but what she really wanted is a friend that could help her and always be there for her! There was a boy named Andy who completely ruined her whole life. The only way she can get away from him is by spreading the big secret that has a big impact on her, Andy, and their reputation.
Two things I liked about the book is that it has a good problem and that it pulls the readers attention till the end of the story just so the reader can find out the situation. All the details from the story support the secret. Two things that i did not like is that it gets confusing at some points and that it can take a while to read. I would recommend this book to mostly girls that like to read, can read on about a level 6/1, and that find interest in a different girl's story and how it has a big impact on her life. I would recommend it to a friend!!! If you like books that are about a girls life and some poor choices she made and how if affected the rest of her life then pick up this book and start reading it! I recommend this book for girls mostly! It is just a heart-touching story!
