Melinda Sordino is afraid to speak.  Nobody at school like Melinda for calling the cops at the end of summer party. All of her friends ignore her. But what nobody knows is she had a reason for calling the police, she was sexually assaulted. Melinda forces herself through school and well, life in generally without speaking. Melinda is afraid no one will believe her, that she will cause more problems with the assaulter and everyone else. Along with ignoring classmates and teachers, she has to try to avoid the monster who did this to her, and he makes that difficult.

*THIS NOVEL IS ABOUT A GIRL BEING RAPED IF YOU AREN'T COMFORTABLE READING ABOUT THAT TOPIC DO NOT READ

*DOES NOT GO INTO DETAIL OF THE SEXUAL ASSAULT

This novel I believe is a must read, If you are afraid to speak, maybe melinda can inspire you to do so.

For all of you who have been through the same or similar to Melinda I YOU and hope you will be brave and tell someone.
