Speak

Excellent book for teens... and maybe pre-teens, with the right conversation. I added this one to my list to help one of my kids get through her high school homework. I guess this one has been added to some “banned” lists. I think that's a travesty. Young people need to know that they are not alone, that it's not their fault, and that there is help out there. And the young perpetrators need to know that what they're doing is WRONG!!! NO means NO!

If you have trouble speaking to your teens about sexual assault and consent, this book might open that door for you. You read, then have them read it, and start an open dialogue.
