Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper
Melody is 11 years old and has a disability called Cerebral Palsy. She cannot walk or talk. She is in the 5th grade at Spaulding Street Elementary School in the disability class. One day Melody has an idea to get a computer that can talk for her. Melody’s parents agree and soon she gets a Medi-Talker, a computer that will talk for her as she types. Melody is thrilled. Soon, a team called the Whiz Kids (a team where smart kids compete in a competition) has tryouts, and Melody makes the team.
A lot of people underestimated Melody. She has to go through a lot, and some people are really cruel to her. In the end though, Melody realized that she is not to be underestimated, and that she is really smart. This book helped me see into Melody’s life and what she went through. I saw the experiences she had even though she was disabled. I thought it was a great book. I definitely recommend this book!
