This story is a required reading for Jonathan's 9th grade English class. When he started reading it, he said that it was good, so I read it, too. It is an excellent story and I can see why it is required in so many high school English classes. The narrative style held my captive attention. Melinda is a very sympathetic main character that may, hopefully, encourage teenagers to find compassion for an outcast, understanding that there may be more than meets the eye. It's been awhile since I read a book that was hard to put down, but Speak was just that book, young adult or not. (5.0/5.0)
