Coffee For The Brain Book Tournament – Round 2 Decision – Speak vs. Black and White

This battle was between two very gritty novels. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and Black and White by Paul Volponi. The students did not provide much of a write-up except a short summary of Speak which have decided to move on to the next round.

Here is what was provided.

Speak is a great story about a girl with real life problems. Her life is ruined after ne summer night when she tries to help, but ruins everyones fun in the process.

There is a lot more to this book than this, but I know the students were adamant about this book making it on. Congrats to Speak moving on to Round 3
