I am with you again and I'm glad to inform you that we are going to read a
new book. It is "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson. I have never heard
about this book before, so I decided to google some information about it.
Wikipedia told me that Speak, published in 1999,
is Laurie Halse
Anderson's young adult
novel that tells the story
of Melinda Sordino's rape, recovery, and confession. Speak is considered as a problem novel, or trauma novel. Melinda's story is written in a diary format,
consisting of a nonlinear plot and jumpy narrative that mimics the trauma she
experienced.
To be honest, I do not think that I have read something like this before. Have you? (the question is to all of you, I'm waiting for your answers in comments).
So the book is going to be really interesting to read. This is all for today, dear. See you soon. Be ready to learn new vocabulary and meet some new friends. Bye :)
If you like the diary format (which I really enjoy), you should try Princess Diaries or Daddy-Long-Leggs. I think Masha has read the latter in her 1st year. I have a book and can lend it to you, if you want.
