From the beginning of Melinda's freshman year of high school, she's labeled a snitch and a loser--she called the cops at an end-of-summer party, and a lot of kids got in trouble. But Melinda's holding a powerful, horrible secret, and it's eating away at her, taking away her voice along with everything else. Though she has no one to turn to, she soon discovers what she must do to help stop her suffering--and she refuses to remain silent anymore. A 2000 Michael L. Printz Honor Book.

"[This] book is also keenly aware of the corrosive details of outsiderhood and the gap between home and daily life at high school....[T]his is a gripping account of personal wounding and recovery." - Anthony P. Maingot (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, 10/1/99)

"One of the greatest books I've ever had the pleasure of reading...If you have experienced anything similar to the main character, it's so easy to relate to her and really feel what she feels. This book deals with some serious topics, however, and I would only recommend it to mature readers."

"Intensely emotional and insightful, yet darkly humorous at times. A novel that will move you emotionally and think about what it means to be a teenage girl going through hell."

"I loved this book. Have read it over and over. Didn't like the movie adaptation much, though."
