Book 3: Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper
What a satisfying read!
Eleven year old Melody is bright, smart, funny, awesome. Eleven year old Melody is a paraplegic with cerebral palsy who cannot walk, who cannot talk. All these thoughts of words and music and colors and feelings fill her head, but she has no way to get them out, no way to speak.
Her parents just know that she is a smart child and with the help of her caregiver she learns to communicate all the brilliant things that she knows, all the things that fill her head.
This book made me think, made me laugh, made me cry, made me thankful and thoughtful. Yes, a nice satisfying read.
