Melody is an extremely intelligent ten-year-old who is unable to walk, talk or write due to cerebral palsy. Her teachers and classmates are unaware of her brilliant mind, and her lessons at school consist of letter songs and repetition of other preschool concepts that insult her. When Melody is finally able to find a way to communicate her thoughts and knowledge with the world, she must fight for the education and respect she deserves.
This poignant book, written from Melody's perspective, will help readers see the people around them much differently while learning the value of inner strength and perseverance. Like Wonder by R.J. Palacio, this is a book that will remain in readers' minds and hearts forever.
