Out of my mind
by Sharon M. Draper · · 2010
This middle-grade novel centers on Melody, an eleven-year-old girl with cerebral palsy who possesses a brilliant photographic memory but is unable to speak or walk. When assistive technology finally gives her a voice, she earns a spot on her school's quiz team, challenging the assumptions of those around her. The story explores themes of self-advocacy, compassion, and the profound value of every human life.
