BOOK EVENT with Author Sharon Draper featuring her newest book "Out of My Mind" Wednesday, March 17
7:00 PM
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.
