out of my mind
The book is about a ten year old girl named Melody, She's really smart, has a photographic memory and no one knows. Everyone thinks she is retarded and has no capacity for learning. Melody has a very bad form of cerebral palsy, She can't walk, talk, or properly move her arms. Her parents still have to spoon feed her. Poor Melody has to go through special education classes at school where the teachers treat the kids like infants and they are constantly relearning the alphabet and simple math. It drives Melody crazy because she's such a smart girl. When Melody is almost eleven, she finds out about a special computer specially designed for people like her. It's programmed to talk at the push of a button. Slowly, Melody is able to show just how intelligent she is, which makes everyone around her think twice about everything they thought they knew about people with disabilities. She soon makes it to the school academic team, and even though she proved her intelligence, not everyone is happy about it
