I don't believe Melinda is a reliable narrator; if you go through any experience you are very likely to be biased because you see the experience through your perspective. This, in turn, will cause you to relate the experience falsely or not tell the whole truth.
I don't think she is a reliable narrator. Any one who reads it doesn't know everything at the beginning. She keeps things from the reader. I agree that she was biased because it happened to her, and she doesn't really want to share it with everyone.
I think that Melinda, although very smart in her decisions, is not the most reliable narrator. The things she went through were so harsh and she probably only tells us her half of the story. However, I would probably feel the same in her situation if something like that happened to me and all of my friends rejected me.
Even though Melinda has been through a lot, she is probably exaggerating or hiding at least some information. The fact that she did not even mention IT until the end of the first marking period, is evidence that she is trying to create suspense and make her story sound interesting. On the other hand, not mentioning IT may be a way to demonstrate how much Melinda wants to forget about what happened and move on.
I think Melinda is a reliable narrator in her truthfulness; however she hides a lot of the information from the reader. Melinda did not tell the reader what had happened to her, until after the first marking period.
I think Melinda is a good narrator. She's pretty biased, but I think that's really refreshing. She tells us exactly what she sees in her school and people around her.
