Anderson realized "The crying girl in my head, a bad dream." Like readers of Speak, Anderson didn't know right away why Melinda was upset. In an interview, Anderson talks about how Melinda was created: One night, Anderson woke to the sound of "a girl sobbing." She thought it was one of her daughters-but no. Sometimes this book can be hard to read-not because of freakishly long words or super weird concepts, but because the issues Anderson tackles can be pretty hard to stomach, even for the most seasoned-roller coaster enthusiast. Pretty much every single person at her new high school thinks she is the worst because a call she made to the cops ended up breaking up a big party where all the popular kids were having the time of their lives. ![]() While most kids are dealing with acne, really bad crushes, mean teachers, and jammed lockers, Melinda Sordino has all of these problems-plus one more. It's the best of times it's the worst of times… actually, mostly it's just the worst of times, and nearly all of these times are demonstrated in Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak. Want more deets?

They leaned over me – one, two, three – their mouths smeared with red currants and their hands dripping with juice. Faces of rose, familiar, living huge shining faces hung up like shields between me and the sky faces with grins and white teeth (some broken) to be conjured up like genii with a howl, brushing off terror with their broad scoldings and affection. They came scrambling and calling up the steep rough bank, and parting the long grass found me. I put back my head and howled, and the sun hit me smartly on the face, like a bully.įrom this daylight nightmare I was awakened, as from many another, by the appearance of my sisters. I was lost and I did not expect to be found again. For the first time in my life I was alone in a world whose behaviour I could neither predict nor fathom: a world of birds that squealed, of plants that stank, of insects that sprang about without warning.
