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