# 16 -- Out of My Mind

Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper was WONDERFUL!

This is the story of an eleven year old girl (Melody) with cerebral palsy who is trapped in a body that doesn't allow her to express herself or the brilliant mind she has. The story is told from Melody's point of view and runs the gamut of emotions. I will honestly tell you that Chapter 15 made me cry....if you are a parent, it will make you cry, too.

The great thing about this story is that I could see some of the children I've known in my schools (both "normal" and like Melody) within this story. You've GOT TO READ this book!
