== Do you believe that your whole life can change in a matter of seconds? Well in this story, a girl named Melinda had her whole life turned upside down at a party the summer before her 9th grade year. Melinda is a very quiet, misunderstor stood, depressed girl. Nobody really understands Melinda, they just judge her. She slacks off in school and isolates herself from others, except for her only friend Heather. Heather is a very upbeat, talkative girl. She could talk to Melinda for hours without even a response from her. For most of the book Heather is really Melinda’s only friend. Melinda’s old best friend, Rachel, doesn’t talk to Melinda anymore. Rachel is very popular and unique. She spends a lot of time with the foreign exchange students at her school. She thinks they are interesting and different just like her. == == In the summer before their ninth grade year, best friends Melinda and Rachel snuck out to their first high school party. They walked into the party expecting to have the time of their lives, but the party was cut short when Melinda called the cops. When she went back to school after her summer break, all of her friends, including her best friend rachel, wouldn’t talk to her. People she didn’t even know suddenly hated her. She became an outcast who everyone ignored. Yet nobody really knew the truth of what had happened the night of that end-of-summer party. == === ﻿ //Speak// really inspired and touched me. It really made me feel empathy for people with stories like Melinda’s. It was such an uplifting story that captivated the reader, and made you feel Melinda's pain. This unforgetable story will stay with the reader because of its powerfull massage. I would deffinitly recomend this book to others. This book reminded me that our world is filled with cruel people and injustice. It also taught me that injustice usually strikes when we least expect it. And When it does strike, we have to speak the truth. ===
