Synopsis
From the beginning of Melinda's freshman year of high school, she's labeled a snitch and a loser--she called the cops at an end-of-summer party, and a lot of kids got in trouble. But Melinda's holding a powerful, horrible secret, and it's eating away at her, taking away her voice along with everything else. Though she has no one to turn to, she soon discovers what she must do to help stop her suffering--and she refuses to remain silent anymore. A 2000 Michael L. Printz Honor Book.
Publisher's Note
A traumatic event near the end of the summer has a devastating effect on Melinda's freshman year in high school.
Industry Reviews
"[This] book is also keenly aware of the corrosive details of outsiderhood and the gap between home and daily life at high school....[T]his is a gripping account of personal wounding and recovery."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (10/01/1999)

Amazing.
Created: 04/05/09
) When I bought this novel, I had already read it, and I wanted it in my collection just to have on hand when I felt the urge to puruse it again. It is a detailed account of a young teenage girl, completely aware of the breakdown she is in the midst of. It is thrilling, heart-wrenching, and shocking. Beautifully written and shockingly truthful, this novel is one that only those mature of mind will fully understand in a psychological sense, but that anyone of any age can enjoy. Laurie Halse Anderson is a prose poet into the teenage soul.

This story is so well written. Straight forward & real, it guides the reader of any age or sex through a horrible ordeal. I think it can be used as a tool to show the steps of healing. I am so glad I read it. I have seen the movie as well & the book & movie compliment one another. The author brings you through the ordeal of rape with the young Melinda with great insight. The perspective is spot on. Excellent book. I am very glad my children, son & daughter, have read it in school & at home.
Inappropriate
Created: 29/09/10
I purchased this book because my daughter needed a book about coming of age. I am disapointed because of the language. Very inappropriate. Lots of profanity and shocked that this is acceptable in a high school book. The story line was good and it had a good ending but I should have picked a different book.

Although required reading for our local Jr. High / Middle School . . . WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???!?? Why are our kids required to read about a 14-year-old girl raped by an upperclassman at a high school party . . . isn't there already enough exposure to violence on the evening news without forcing it into our kids' curriculum too?
