Out of My Mind
Melody brooks is a brilliant child but has one disability. With having a photographic memory and a street-smart mind she unfortunately has cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a disease in which the patient cannot move his/her muscles and cannot even speak.
Just by this disastrous malady, melody has a hard time to achieve her goals. But strong-minded she keeps going on and has ups-and-downs in life.
The most important occasion in her life is a quiz competition in which she is able to show the world that even disabled children can do great things in life.
This is a liked book amongst many because they learn to not tease others who are deficient in other fields, but to encourage them.
This is a truly inspiring story and a little emotional. But I assure you it is not one of pathetic novels.
The author Sharon Draper is inspired by her daughter, Wendy who too has cerebral palsy. I recommend this novel for 10+, as most children below 10 will not understand most of the novel.
