Draper, S. M. (2010). Out of my mind. New York, NY: Antheneum.
Melody the
main character of the book is eleven years old and has Cerebral Palsy. She can’t
talk, walk, or write. This book is a very honest insight on how a child with a
disability is perceived by adults and peers. Melody is given a computer that
speaks for her and now she finally has a voice. I though the book was okay at
times it was hard for me to picture Melody as a child due to her harsh and
honest dialogue. This book does an excellent job to think about how I interact
with children with disabilities.
