Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording, and she's the smartest kid in her whole school--but no one knows it. If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows . . . but she can't, because Melody can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write. Melody has cerebral palsy, and most people--her teachers and doctors included--don't think she's capable of learning. Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind--that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice . . . but not everyone around her is ready to hear it. From multiple Coretta Scott King Award winner Sharon M. Draper comes a story full of heartache and hope. Get ready to meet a girl whose voice you'll never, ever forget. * "Uplifting and upsetting...This moving novel will make activists of us all." --"Booklist "(starred review) * "Unflinching and realistic...Rich in detail of both the essential normalcy and the difficulties of a young person with cerebral palsy." --"Kirkus Reviews "(starred review) * "Kids will benefit from being introduced to M...
