Out of My Mind An Important Story for Us All
10:12 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
Melody Brooks hates being treated like an idiot. Just because the 10-year-old can't walk or talk doesn't mean she can't think. In fact, with her photographic memory, plus a sensory condition that makes her experience the world more fully than other people, Melody is probably the smartest kid in her elementary school. Too bad no one but her will ever know it. Most people, especially other children, can't see past Melody's wheelchair—they don't realize she's not just a gawk-worthy freak, but a real person with feelings, thoughts and ideas.


(Readalikes: Reminded me of Wonder by R.J. Palacio)
Grade: B
If this were a movie, it would be rated: PG for subject matter most suited for kids 10 and over
To the FTC, with love: I bought a copy of Out of My Mind at Deseret Book.
