Melody is a very smart girl, but no one knows it because she can't speak. In fact, she really can't do much because she has cerebral palsy and cannot walk, talk, or really move much at all. Melody finally has a chance to show everyone what she knows and understands when she receives a special computer that talks for her. This contemporary realistic novel is narrated from Melody's point of view so readers can understand that she just wants to be accepted by others, wear cool clothes, and have her intelligence recognized. Melody hopes that when she can communicate, everything will be right for her, but she quickly realizes that she will always be different and struggles to find her identity. An eye opening book for students and teachers that helps you to understand the challenges that people with disabilities face.
