Eleven-year-old Melody has a
photographic memory. Her head is like a
video camera that is always recording.
Always. And there's no delete button.
She's the smartest kid in her whole
school—but no one knows it. Most
people—her teachers and doctors
included—don't think she's capable of
learning, and up until recently her
school days consisted of listening to
the same preschool-level alphabet
lessons again and again and again. If
only she could speak up, if only she
could tell people what she thinks and
knows . . . but she can't, because
Melody can't talk. She can't walk. She
can't write.
Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind—that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice . . . but not everyone around her is ready to hear it.
From multiple Coretta Scott King Award winner Sharon M. Draper comes a story full of heartache and hope. Get ready to meet a girl whose voice you'll never, ever forget.
