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!
