Sam Reviews "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson

 "The school board banned one of Maya Angelou's books so the librarian had to take down her poster. I fished it out of the trash. She must be a great writer if the school board is scared of her."

"My family doesn't talk much and we have nothing in common, but if my mom cooks a decent turkey, she believes we will magically be a family for one more year."

"The whole point of not talking about it, of silencing the memory, is to make it go away. It won't. I'll need brain surgery to cut it out."
