Name: Out of my Mind
Author: Sharon Draper
Summary: 11 year old Melody Brooks has never been able to walk, talk, or do hardly anything by herself without help. The reason is because she has cerebal palsy that limits her body, - but definitely NOT her mind. She has mountains of things to say, and she can't. It makes her upset and frustrated. In this book, Melody takes you through her life, starting with the day she was brought home from the hospital, to the day she got on the Whiz Kids Quiz Team, and all her experiences in between. Once she finally gets a voice, not everyone is ready to listen.
Rating: 5 stars
Complaints: NONE!! BEST BOOK!! MUST READ!
Comments: This book is wonderful. Beautiful. Well written. Melody is a girl who has everything going against her, yet she still comes out on top. To have the privilege of seeing the world through Melody's eyes was just so amazing and deep. It was also interesting to see that a lot of the people that Melody was with acted different around her, without even meaning to at times. Like her teacher, even her friend Rose. The book takes the reader through Melody's life, from birth to fifth grade. This is a must read for readers of all ages.
