From award-winning author Sharon Draper comes a story that will forever change how we all look at anyone with a disability, perfect for fans of RJ Palacioâs Wonder.
Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She canât walk. She canât talk. She canât write. All because she has cerebral palsy. But she also has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. Sheâs the smartest kid in her whole school, but NO ONE knows it. Most peopleâher teachers, her doctors, her classmatesâdismiss her as mentally challenged because she canât tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And sheâs determined to let everyone know it…somehow.
