speak

What an incredible book! It's been a few years in coming but I finally read it, well actually I listened to the audio book. Either way it was great. Without ruinng it...it's about a girl who enters high school without friends because she called the cops at a big summer bash. As a result she becomes selectively mute and pretty much quits life...except art class. This book is her story...how she copes and eventually learns to speak for herself and her peers.
If you have any inclination for adolescent literature, or wonder what teenagers are dealing with, read this book!!!
