From the beginning of Melinda`s freshman year of high school, she`s labeled a snitch and a loser--she called the cops from an end-of-summer party, and a lot of kids got in trouble. But Melinda`s holding a powerful, horrible secret inside of her--she was raped by an upperclassman at the party. Though she has no one to turn to, she soon discovers what she must do to help stop her suffering--she refuses to remain silent anymore. A 2000 Michael L. Printz Honor Book.
