Out of My Mind

Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. She also has Cerebral Palsy. She is the smartest kid in the school and full of determination, but her thoughts and feelings remain trapped inside her head and body. Most people (teachers and doctors included) think she is incapable of learning...until a persistent young teacher and a new technology give Melody the voice she has always longed for. But is the world ready to receive it? Sharon Draper writes with a poignantly authentic voice as she asks us to share Melody's journey and frustrations. This book will enlighten readers of any age.
