Speak

In this 2019 graphic novel from Rue de Sèvres, a single issue adapts Laurie Halse Anderson's acclaimed young adult novel Speak, bringing its powerful story of trauma and finding one's voice to a new visual medium. The book is most closely associated with artist Emily Carroll, whose haunting, atmospheric illustrations give form to the protagonist's inner world. This adaptation matters as a faithful yet visually distinct translation of a modern classic, making its emotional impact accessible to a comics audience.
