Freshman high-school student Melinda has refused to speak ever since she called the cops on a popular summer party.

But Melinda does manage to find solace in her art class headed by Mr. Freeman.

In the book Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, Melinda Sordino is forced into the worst year of her life.
