Never did I thought how it would feel to have every single thought locked inside my head. How horrible it would be!? An eternal prison! This book was very heartwarming and encouraged me to write a whole essay based off of this book. I began to see the world with different windows.

This is one of my favorites! Melody is an amazing and relatable character, even if you don't have cerebral palsy. Melody struggles to communicate and finds a way to, but Sharon draper shows that not everything is sunshine and rainbows after that........great read, would definitely recommend this to anyone!

I absolutely love this book. I thought it was so inspiring and I adored Penny. My favorite part was when she got her talking machine and said her first words. I felt so sad for Melody when all her friends went for the competition without her and when Penny got ran over. Melody is a very challenged little girl. Someone in my school has the same thing. Thank you for reading this. I hope you like the book as much as I do. 😊😍😊

This book follows a young girl who has a disability and has to be in a wheelchair. It's an amazing book and made me laugh and cry the whole time 😁😭. It shows just because someone has a disability doesn't mean there not smart.

Out of my mind is about a girl who can't talk, move, or feed herself. So, she finds a machine that can make her talk. Then, she gets selected to be on a quiz team. But, her teammates think she's weird and don't want her to be on the quiz team. It is an awesome book.

This is my favorite book. It details the life of a person with a disability or illness. Melody wants people to know what she's thinking. some people treat her as if she is completely dumb and has no sense in life.But she does, she is actually extremely smart.She has a photographic memory so she remembers almost everything! Melody has a disorder in her body so she can't talk,walk, or do much of anything by herself. Most of her school life has been spent at home or in the special room for kids who can't care for themselves. Then they made an announcement saying they cold take a couple low key classes with the "normal kids". Melody was getting bullied a lot and the sad part is since she can't walk or talk then she can't stand up for herself. The book was sad in parts but fully described the life for a kid like her. She is so smart that she made it on the trivisa team for her school!!! But then there was a dilemma and she got left behind once. If you are looking for a warming heartfelt book then read this book, It is definitely a five star!
