Melinda Sordino busted an unspoken rule by speaking up about what happened at a party. Now she's an outcast, silenced by her peers, and struggling to deal with the trauma of that night. Through powerful imagery and sparse text, the graphic novel adaptation of Laurie Halse Anderson's award-winning novel amplifies Melinda's emotional journey as she navigates the isolating landscape of high school, grapples with her past, and ultimately finds her voice. The graphic novel format vividly portrays Melinda's internal world, her flashbacks, and the symbolic tree that represents her growth and healing. Emily Carroll's stunning illustrations capture the darkness and vulnerability of Melinda's experience, while staying true to the story's message of hope and resilience.
