Melinda is an outcast at her school. A summer party got busted (thanks to her) and now everybody hates her. But nobody has bothered to ask Melinda why she did what she did.
This book unfolds gently, and the reader gradually pieces together Melinda's situation as the book progresses. I started to think I knew what happened a long time before it was finally revealed - and I have to say that I changed my mind a couple times as the story progressed.
It's painful to see Melinda so hurt. You want to shake her, or yell, or something. SPEAK UP! SAY SOMETHING! But instead, Melinda stays silent.
Another great book, and another great book we'll be talking about in teen/parent book discussions.
