Series: The Out of My Mind Series

A New York Times bestseller and now an original film on Disney+!

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 R. J. Palacio’s Wonder.

Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school – but NO ONE knows it. Most people – her teachers and doctors included – don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again and again. 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. 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.

‘A gutsy, candid, and compelling story. It speaks volumes.’ School Library Journal (starred review)

‘Unflinching and realistic.’ Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
