Resumen del Editor

From award-winning author Sharon Draper comes Out of My Mind, the story of a brilliant girl who cannot speak or write.

Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy. And she's determined to let everyone know it...somehow.

In this breakthrough story - reminiscent of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - from multiple Coretta Scott King Award winner Sharon Draper, listeners will come to know a brilliant mind and a brave spirit who will change forever how they look at anyone with a disability.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"If there is one book teens and parents (and everyone else) should read this year, Out of My Mind should be it." ( Denver Post)

Great!!!!

The book was great! I wasn't a big fan of the narratior though. The book had a great plot too. Overall, a 5 star rating! :)

Enjoy

I enjoyed every minute of listening to this book with my children. We laughed, we cried, we were even scared and worried at times. I highly recommend this book. ❤️

Very enlightening

This story is very well written. it opens your eyes to how people my look different on the outside but not so different on the inside.

Starts slow but gets better

My daughter needed to read this for 5th grade book report. We decided to do audible and listen together. It’s about a an 11yr old girl who is smart and articulate but has cerebral palsy and can’t speak and has very limited movement. It’s from her perspective living life, making friends, and having a healthy sibling.
It’s good to hear her side of things and will help my daughter think more positively of disabled people in the sense that just because the body isn’t working doesn’t mean the mind isn’t.

best ever thanks you for making this i love it

loved this book and was great for the car. its also a real tear jerker

Great Insight

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

My kids and I listened to this book as we commute to School and home each day (45 mins one way). It helped my kids see students with special needs with a new perspective. There were many times they did not want to get out of the car as they wanted to hear what would happen next.

What did you like best about this story?

I love how Sisi was able to help us feel the emotion behind the words. Our heart ached for Melody as she wanted to be normal so badly. The powerful lesson that wrapped up the story was so insightful and was a great conversation that my kids and I discussed.

Have you listened to any of Sisi Aisha Johnson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Penny was ran over and Melody did everything in her power to communicate with her mom. Roses confession of not calling her. Melody rising to be a better person as she laughed when they presented her the 9th place trophy.

very emotional and just a great story🤣🤣

very fun to read and existing in such a world like Melody's would be impossible for people without disabilities

wonderful book

This story will make you teary eyed. It makes you think about all the different people in the world and how we may function different. Being disabled doesn't mean you don't have feelings, or that your feelings don't matter. it also doesn't mean you aren't a Steven Hawking (spl?).
