From award-winning author Sharon Draper comes Out of My Mind, the story of a brilliant girl who cannot speak or write.

Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy. And she's determined to let everyone know it...somehow.

In this breakthrough story - reminiscent of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - from multiple Coretta Scott King Award winner Sharon Draper, listeners will come to know a brilliant mind and a brave spirit who will change forever how they look at anyone with a disability.

I've read this book about a million times. And yet I can never get enough of it. Every time I read it it feels like a surprise, even though I remember the book! And don't even get me started on how many lessons it teaches you. It teaches young readers about special needs kids, dissapoinment will happen and more. Even if you're 16 years old this is still a Gucci read. As the kids would say, it's lit or this book is SAVAGE! To end it off this book is a heartfelt, perfectly written novel.

A million times

The narrator did too many misinformed accents and a weird baby voice for the main character. The story itself is interesting and realistic. The performance was awkward.

Excellent book, cringe-worthy narration

It was good to hear from someone with the same condition as mine. Although I can speak, I could still relate to her life.
