Description of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson PDF

“Speak” is an age-appropriate novel for teens with believable characters and situations. Laurie Halse Anderson is the author of this novel. Laurie Halse Anderson is the New York Times-bestselling author who writes for kids of all ages. Known for tackling tough subjects with humor and sensitivity, her work has earned numerous American Library Association and state awards. The Speak focuses on a 9th-grade girl who suddenly finds herself without friends after an incident that occurred at a high school party. As time goes on, she becomes more and more isolated from her peers and finds her only outlet to be through her art.

As she begins to heal, with the help of her Art teacher and some new, trustworthy friends, she finds strength in her own voice and realizes the importance of speaking up. The beauty of this novel is that it could have survived alone without the much more sinister story behind it. But, that said, it also served as a very sad and moving voice for rape victims, particularly the vast amounts who feel at fault or scared or embarrassed by what happened. It is a quick, easy teen read but it is also the kind that plays on your mind repeatedly after finishing it.
