So Much To Tell You by John Marsden

This is a book I read a while back and thought it would be interesting to share. Its the story of a young girl, Marina, who has a very troubled life, she is a mute. She also has a scared face given to her by her father due to an acid spill after the accident she refuses to talk to anyone during recovery and her mother (who grows tired of her being mute) sends her to Warrington Boarding School in an effort to improve her communication, but even there she continues to silence. Until her English teacher Mr Lindell gives the glasses journals to write in, Mariana takes to it a sort of a joke writing down very trivial things about her life at school, but as time goes on she starts to write more deep things and this becomes her only source of communication, as the book progresses she meets a girl by the name of Cathy Preshill, she is the closest thing Marina has to a friend she is tall and thin and likes to read poetry, by the end of the book she goes to meet her father in what appears to be prison but the author isn't clear. And says her only words in the entire book: "Hello, Dad," and "I've got so much to tell you..."

This is a book that nearly every teenager in the world should read its got the whole deal: boys and girls, sex and family defiantly a good book that I love reading and its won a few awards which is cool too :)
