She is unable to speak and as we follow her through four quarters at Merryweather High School we find out what led Melinda to lose her voice and how in the end she gets it back. Melinda is starting her freshman year in high school and the novel quickly shows how alone she feels. “Speak: The Graphic Novel” follows the main character, Melinda. Seeing it via another medium made it even more powerful. I already knew the story that Anderson was going to tell. The illustrations add so much to this story and I am glad that I read “Speak” first and then this graphic novel next. The graphic novel does a great job with showing us Melinda in the present day and her memories of her friends and of a party that changed everything via the illustrations by Emily Carroll. ![]() I felt for Melinda and wanted to hug her throughout the story and loved how Anderson takes a long road to showing us what happened to Melinda and how her life became unraveled before her freshman year of high school. I loved “Speak” when I read it back in 2015. ![]()
