Out+of+My+Mind



Out of my mind is the touching story of Melody, an eleven year old girl. She has photographic memory and is wickedly smart, but has never really been able to express that. Not many people stop to listen. The reason is because Melody is 'different'. She can't walk, can't talk, can't even eat on her own. Melody is literally stuck in her own head...and going out of her mind. She has lots to say, everyone else just needs to open up and listen to her. Now, starting the fifth grade Melody can finally change her fate. Instead of just being stuck in her "learning community" with the other kids with "special needs" and "disabilities" Melody is offered the chance to interact with "regular" kids in inclusion classes. Suddenly everything looks brighter, especially when she discovers a device that will help her to communicate with others. Melody can finally open up and show the world what she is capable of!
 * Book Summary:**

Yes! This book was great. It also changed my perspective a ton. At first I thought that I would never treat a person differently from anyone else. This book had me questioning that. I was always like, how would I feel and would I ever treat someone like that... ??? This book is awesome! Sharon M. Draper is a seriously talented author. If you haven't read this book, you totally should!

To Bookworm1213: I found this book to be very revealing and gave such a nice perspective of someone's struggles. I also just read Wonder, and THAT book was also very enlightening. Another fantastic entry here, Bookworm! -Hoodzie123
