Out of My Mind

This special movie tie-in edition showcases a new cover with an image from the major motion picture soon to be streaming on Disney+! A New York Times bestseller for three years and counting! “Unflinching and realistic.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From award-winning author Sharon Draper comes a “gutsy, candid, and compelling” (School Library Journal, starred review) 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.
