Review: Shout

Shout by Laurie Halse Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This will get some conversation around the Printz award table, I bet! Lots of beautiful poetry in this little book, with several passages that I re-read just for the power of the words. But I did read Speak years ago, so this novel means more to me than those who haven't read any of Anderson's works. And I wonder how teens now will respond to this? All of old librarians enjoyed it, but are we the target audience? Or the initial readers of Speak who are all grown up now? Or the current set of teens?
