"Carroll, well-known for her horror comics, does an excellent job of bringing the vignettes of Anderson’s novel to the graphic format. With spellbinding artwork, this exceptional adaptation masterfully does justice to its source material while adding new depth and nuance." ―Booklist starred review

"This potent retelling of the modern classic Speak blends words and images to create magic: a new representation of a teen whose voice is ripped from her, the battles she must wage to find it again, and the triumph of finally being able to speak out. Carroll’s grayscale artwork perfectly depicts the starkness of Melinda’s depression through strong ink lines and striking panels that rely on pencil and charcoal textural effects for the backgrounds. The characters are distinct and the action flows naturally; it is amazing how closely this version evokes the style and feeling of the original." ―School Library Journal starred review

"Anderson’s timeless and important tale of high -school sexual assault and its aftermath undergoes a masterful graphic novel transformation.Carroll’s stark black-and-white illustrations are exquisitely rendered, capturing the mood through a perfectly calibrated lens. With the rise of women finding their voices and speaking out about sexual assault in the media, this reworking of the enduring 1999 classic should be on everyone’s radar...Powerful, necessary, and essential."―Kirkus starred review

"In this new graphic novel adaptation of Anderson’s Speak (rev. 9/99)―a powerful narrative of a freshman’s year of self-preservation after a brutal sexual assault―artist Carroll starkly renders protagonist Melinda’s pain and healing in black and white, expertly deploying visual perspective and tension to sharpen the emotional impact...Art becomes a means of expression for her, making the graphic novel format especially resonant with the original theme... will give even longtime devotees a new way to experience Melinda’s story. ―Horn Book starred review

"Strong lines, overlapping panels and clever use of blank space show Carroll's skill in creating Melinda's stifling, near-silent world. Speak: The Graphic Novel is hypnotizing and heart-breaking, with the kind of empowering finish that unshackles protagonist and readers alike." ―Shelf Awareness starred review

고등학교에 입학한 첫날부터 멜린다는 왕따가 되었다. 고등학교 사회에서 해서는 안 되는 일을 저질렀다는 이유로 공공의 적이 되었기 때문이다. 바로 여름 방학이 끝날 무렵 참석한 어느 파티에서 자신이 성폭행을 당했다고 경찰에 신고 전화를 해 그 파티를 완전히 망쳐 버린 것이다. 그 후, 멜린다는 피해자로서 보호를 받기는커녕 오히려 오랜 친구들과 사이가 멀어지고 전교생들의 놀림거리가 되고 만다. 고통스러운 그날의 진실을 스스로 외면하려던 멜린다는 결국 실어증에 걸리게 되고 일상과 학교생활은 점점 엉망이 되어간다. 자신의 목소리를 되찾기 위해 치러야 하는 수많은 싸움에서 과연 그녀는 당당하게 맞서고 또 승리할 수 있을까?

The critically acclaimed, award-winning, modern classic Speak is now a stunning graphic novel.

"Speak up for yourself―we want to know what you have to say." From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless―an outcast―because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. Through her work on an art project, she is finally able to face what really happened that night: She was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. With powerful illustrations by Emily Carroll, Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak: The Graphic Novel comes alive for new audiences and fans of the classic novel.
