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.
