In " Speak ," we meet Melinda Sordino as she enters her freshman year at Merryweather High. She is a pariah—hated by her former friends and mocked by her peers because she called the cops on a summer party. What they don't know is the traumatic truth behind that phone call.

The book (Russian: Говори ) is the Russian translation of the award-winning young adult novel "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson . Originally published in 1999, it is a modern classic that follows the journey of Melinda Sordino , a high school freshman who becomes a social outcast after calling the police to break up a summer party.
