Out of My Mind /

Read the #1 New York Times bestseller Out of My Mind and discovered the brilliant mind of Melody Brooks.

From multiple award-winning author Sharon Draper comes a story that will forever change how we all look at anyone with a disability, perfect for fans of RJ Palacio's Wonder.

Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She can't walk. She can't talk. She can't write. All because she has cerebral palsy. But she also has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She's the smartest kid in her whole school, but NO ONE knows it. Most people—her teachers, her doctors, her classmates—dismiss her as mentally challenged because she can't tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And she's determined to let everyone know it ... somehow.

Notes

REVIEWS:
"If there's one book teens and parents (and everyone else) should read this year, Out of My Mind should be it." —Denver Post

"A gutsy, candid, and compelling story. It speaks volumes." —School Library Journal (starred review)

"Unflinching and realistic." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Uplifting…This moving novel will makes activists of us all." —Booklist (starred review)

"Like Stephen Hawking, who becomes her hero, Melody discovers that her inner strength and intelligence are more reliable than most of the humans around her. She becomes an activist for herself, even as Draper challenges those who read her story to become activists for those who are different." -The Columbus Dispatch
