Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

Ever since that incident in the summer, Melinda hasn't talked. She holds a secret, a very scary secret, but the whole school hates her. After the traumatizing incident in the summer at the after school bash, Melinda calls the police, ruining the party and losing her friends.

But what is so bad to have done that, to arrest dozens of students, to never speak again? I liked it very much and it should be aimed at older teens.
