Title: Maya Angelou would be proud of you, Laurie
Product review: After hearing Laurie Halse Anderson speak at the 2000 International Reading Association convention, I was moved to read her novel, Speak. It captured the feelings that my young adult students feel about being on the outside looking in. It uses fantastic allusions to Maya Angelou's, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. I thought Speak could touch the heart of any young reader on a journey to find their place in the world. Read It! I can't keep it on my bookshelf. The author deserves all the compliments I could give. She is delightful.
