Speak

Speak Laurie Halse Anderson I would like to offer my deepest thanks to all the people who read drafts of this story and encouraged me to keep going: the Bucks County Children's Writers Group, Marnie Brooks, Hillary Homzie, Joanne Puglia, Stephanie Anderson, Meredith Anderson, and Elizabeth Mikesell, a talented and compassionate editor.

Thank you, thank you.

To Sandy Bernstein, who helped me find my voice, and to my husband, Greg, who listens.
