Description

Perfect for fans of R.J. Palacio's Wonder, the New York Times bestselling Out of My Mind and its sequel, Out of My Heart, follow a girl with cerebral palsy who fights to be heard-now together in a collectible hardcover boxed set. Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She can't walk. She can't talk. She can't write. All because she has cerebral palsy. But she also has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She's the smartest kid in her whole school, but NO ONE knows it. Most people-her teachers, her doctors, her classmates-dismiss her as mentally challenged because she can't tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And she's determined to let everyone know it...somehow. This poignant hardcover boxed set includes: Out of My Mind Out of My Heart
