By Sharon M. Draper

Melody is learning to communicate with the world and teaching the world how to communicate with her. Because she has cerebral palsy, she is unable to walk, unable to talk, and unable to do what many take for granted. Her mind is full of knowledge, but most people–her teachers and doctors included–don’t think she is capable of learning. If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows. Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last, Melody has a voice, but not everyone around her is ready to hear it… Visit Sharon M. Draper’s official website. Book jacket image and book description courtesy Simon & Schuster.
