'Speak' Goes Digital


'Speak' Goes Digital

Since it was first published in 1999 by Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers, Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak has reached millions of readers. Now Macmillan is hoping to attract millions more with the digital debut of Speak and the release of a new paperback edition from Square Fish. Twelve years after its debut, with more than 2.5 million copies sold, a 2005 movie adaptation starring Kristen Stewart, and after being translated into 20 languages, the novel still speaks just as loudly now as it did then.
