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 Palacio's Wonder.
Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She can't walk. She
can't talk. She can't 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. She's the smartest kid in her whole
school, but NO ONE knows it. Most people--her teachers, her doctors, her
classmates--dismiss her as mentally challenged because she can't tell
them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And
she's determined to let everyone know it...somehow.
