Speak 20th Anniversary Edition

by Laurie Halse Anderson
$8.90 Now $5.90 Save 34%
Speak 20th Anniversary Edition
Speak 20th Anniversary Edition

Traumatic silence broken by courageous self-expression.

If you've ever felt silenced by trauma or social pressures, "Speak" could resonate deeply with you. Laurie Halse Anderson has crafted a narrative that's both harrowing and empowering, capturing the silent struggle many face. The journey of reclaiming one’s voice and the raw, authentic emotion packed into Melinda's story can be both a mirror and a beacon of hope. With new commentary to celebrate its anniversary, it's a reminder of the book's enduring relevance.
