In the summer before her freshman year of high school, Melinda went through an unnamed trauma that caused her to call the cops at a party. Now she's in high school and is completely ostracized by her peers, her grades are slipping, and her parents are frustrated with her behavior. Over time, she becomes a selective mute, as she tries to deal with her feelings and the ire of her classmates. Thank goodness Melinda has art and a poster of Maya Angelou to see her through... This is a fantastic book.
