Melody has cerebral palsy yet has an incredibly intelligent mind. Because she cannot talk and is severely physically handicapped, people around her doubt her intellect. Her supportive parents and amazing neighbor Mrs. V help her achieve more than she can imagine.
Heartbreaking . . .reveals how people automatically judge and can be mean-spirited/selfish. The story does not end perfectly.
I think every upper elementary and junior high student should hear/read this book.
*Highly recommend.
Skills: character traits/character study
