Ben Mikaelsen's Touching Spirit Bear is a touching story with extremely vivid details. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys reading about nature and conflict.

What is it like to be taken advantage of and degraded by a monster? Melinda Sordino, of Speak, is a rape victim who lost her voice after such a traumatic violation. Not only was Melinda’s spirit broken by the rape that occurred at a high school party, but by everyone around her who turned their backs on her in unison. No one but Melinda knows what really happened that night at the party and with no voice, she can gain no help. Laurie Hassle's, Speak, is a story of a struggling teenage girl looking to find her voice once again. Although it is filled with heartache for this young girl, it is an inspirational read as well. I recommend it to high school students, first and foremost, because it will be easiest for them to relate to the character.
