ANDERSON LAURIE HALSE - GEBRAUCHT SPEAK - PREIS...

From 2023 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award laureate Laurie Halse Anderson  the groundbreaking
modern classic Speak is a bestselling National Book Award Finalist for Young People's
Literature with more than 3.5 million copies sold. Speak up for yourself-we want to know what
you have to say. From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High  Melinda knows
this is a big fat lie  part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless  outcast  because
she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops  so now nobody will talk to her  let
alone listen to her. As time passes  she becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops
talking altogether. Only her art class offers any solace  and it is through her work on an art
project that she is finally able to face what really happened at that terrible party: she was
raped by an upperclassman  a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her.
Her healing process has just begun when she has another violent encounter with him. But this
time Melinda fights back  refuses to be silent  and thereby achieves a measure of vindication.
In Laurie Halse Anderson's powerful novel  an utterly believable heroine with a bitterly ironic
voice delivers a blow to the hypocritical world of high school. She speaks for many a
disenfranchised teenager while demonstrating the importance of speaking up for oneself.
