Out of My Mind is an outstanding book written by Sharon Draper.  It starts out as a girl named Melody, who was born with a disability.  Her body was stiff and that she couldn't move.  She has been stuck in her wheelchair all of her life. She can’t even talk! Melody gets  frustrated when she is not able to communicate with other people. Sometimes she can get out of control.  She is the smartest person in class and nobody knows!  Mrs.V is Melody's neighbor who has been helping and supporting Melody since she was 3 years old.  Finally, after years and years of waiting Melody gets to talk for the very first time! Well of course with the help of her new Medi-Talker.  The Medi-Talker speaks out words so Melody can communicate.  Soon, Melody's classmates get to know and understand her personality.   Shortly after, she gets to express her knowledge in front of everyone. How does she do this? Does it turn out to be a disaster?  You have to read the book to find out!

I personally thought Out of My Mind was a fantastic book.  I liked the plot and ideas, as well as all the different characters.  The author described things very well, however sometimes the book was slow and didn't go as fast as some other parts.  Overall, Out of My Mind was an amazing book, and it definitely is one of my favorites.
