📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
by Laurie Halse Anderson
Laurie Halse Anderson is an award
winning author who is now sharing her personal story. Maybe you are familiar
with her books (Fever 1793, Ashes,
Twisted, Wintergirls, Prom, and Speak),
maybe you are not. Anderson’s story in Shout
is similar to Melinda’s in Speak. She
is a survivor who no longer wishes to remain silent and is now calling for
others to also speak up and take action. Most importantly, allowing others to
know that they are not alone.
This is a beautifully written novel
in verse. Anderson shares her experience, the downward spiral her life took
after it, and pulling herself together again. With the subject matter being on
the tougher side, this read may be difficult for some at the present moment or
overall. For those who can handle the topic addressed, this is highly
recommended.

novel version of Speak here.
