Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Tia

During and end of the summer party, two things happen to Melinda Sordino-she gets drunks and raped by a senior. I like this book not only because it talked about speaking up when something has happened to you, but the importance of speaking up entirely. Melinda has sarcastic wit and honesty that towards the end you miss her and glad she's okay. The names she gives her teachers are funny and I especially liked her art teacher Mr. Freeman- I guess you could say he is the main person that helps her find her voice and at the end of the book she shares what she's been through "Let me tell you about it." Mrs. Anderson did an excellent job on this book and I am excited to hear that the movie version will be released soon.
