Prince of Silence continues on with the story surrounding the high school news team. This main topic is sexual harassment and the effects it is having on Molly. Molly's boss is touching her body by accident by brushing up against her and he said sorry every time. But it keeps happening and Molly is beginning to get uncomfortable. She needs the money for college so she needs to keep the job. And she is afraid to tell on him. The news team decided to do a news story on sexual harassment and they start interviewing women and men on the issue and their experiences. When they begin digging deeper, they discover that the boy's locker room has tons of negative and sexual comments written on the wall about females in the school. One girl shared that she was collecting money and the guy put the money down her shirt and later he put his foot on the hem of her skirt where when she stood up it felt to her knees. The boy's revealed that the girls are no better and some of them would pinch or slap them on their butt. Some girls even screamed things they wanted to do with them. Throughout the story, the news team tried to beg Molly to talk to her parents about her boss.I immensely thought that the book was much written for the times in which we live. Sexual harassment does in fact occur more often than we would like to admit. I loved how the book included that it happens to women and men. Most people, I think only believe that men are the main perpetrators but women can definably be perpetrators too. Teenagers would greatly benefit from this book and it will teach them the importance of identifying sexual harassment through reading this book. I could relate to Molly and how she wanted to keep her job but she was afraid to speak up about what was happening at her job. The book has the potential to encourage teenagers to speak up when they see sexual harassment!"I received this ebook for free from Litfuse Publicity Group for this review".
