Out of My Mind

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
