![]() The book Out of My Mind is by Sharon M. Draper and the genre is realistic fiction. It is about an 11 year old girl named Melody who has a disability, and wants to talk but everyone underestimates how smart she really is. Will she find a device that will help her talk or will she stay silent forever? I like this book because it always makes me want to read about what will happen to Melody. -Zia Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper, is a realistic fiction novel about a girl named Melody with a disease called Cerebral Palsy which prevents her from having the capability to walk or talk. Melody is truly intelligent and can remember a great deal of things but there was no way to show anyone how witty she really was. She goes to a school where she is put in a class for "diseased" children and gets underestimated by teachers. This book is about Melody trying to find a solution and soon she does. Melody discovers a machine that lets her finally express her brilliance. This book has a wonderfully written storyline with bits of humor and frustration any reader could understand. -Nithya
