I read over holiday break Speak by Laurie Anderson. It’s about a girl who attends a party at the end of summer, and unfortunately is raped by a popular senior boy. She calls the police upset and confused when they get to the party she can’t tell them what happened. When the kids find out she was the one who called the police her friends leave her behind when they enter high school. No one knows she was raped,and she can’t build the courage to speak let alone tell about being raped. She expresses herself through art, and you follow her journey through 9th grade.
