Summary from Goodreads:
Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom—the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy. And she's determined to let everyone know it—somehow.
Review:
Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper left me speechless in the best way. Melody's voice is unforgettable, raw, brilliant, and so deeply human. This book challenged me, moved me, and reminded me how powerful words (even unspoken ones) can be. A must read for anyone who wants to see the world through a different lens.
