How would you feel if you couldn’t talk or walk and have barely been able to communicate for the past ten years of your life? Well Melody Brooks feels horrible to the tenth power! Melody has cerebral palsy and can’t move most of her body. After all these years of not talking, Melody is determined to find a way to talk, show everybody her smarts, talents, and whatever else was cooped up inside her for the ten years of her life. She remembers everything. This realistic fiction book is certainly one to remember.

In the book, Melody finds a computer that can talk for her!!! She makes her first good friends, gets onto the Whiz Kidz team, and talks through it all. Now that Melody can talk, she is determined to show everybody her smarts and change her reputation from nobody to somebody. She does this through the Whiz Kidz team. Go Melody!!!!!!!

I would recommend this book to all kids, because it is an extremely inspirational story. Sharon Draper wrote a wonderful story about Melody and her adventures. In my opinion this is the best book ever! Join Melody on this roller coaster called…. Life!!
