A New York Times bestseller for three years and counting and now an original film on Disney+!

“A gutsy, candid, and compelling story. It speaks volumes.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Unflinching and realistic.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

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 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. Growing Up & Facts of Life Inspiring Literature & Fiction Heartfelt Social & Life Skills Family Life Feel-Good

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.

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

Excellent
