Readers can expect a first-person narrative of Melody, an intelligent and funny 5th grader who has cerebral palsy. Very well written, easy to follow, and eye opening.

This has been on my TBR list for quite some time. Any time the book was mentioned, the cover art would spring into my mind. It was always right there on the sidelines. Now that the sequel (Out of My Heart) is about to be released I had…
