Out of My Dreams

By: Sharon M. Draper

Narrated by: Sisi Aisha Johnson

Melody flies to London to speak at a convention about differently abled kids in this “warm and beautifully told” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) sequel to the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling middle grade novels Out of My Mind and Out of My Heart.

When Melody saves an elderly back-in-the-day actress’s life, she ends up on their local TV channel. The studio is so impressed with Melody that they arrange for her to be a speaker at an international symposium for kids who are differently abled, and this year’s symposium is in London! To Melody’s utter shock and delight, her parents say yes. Yes!

Melody finally gets to fly on an airplane, and many adventures in London await, including a cheeky interaction with a royal guard’s horse, becoming a little too acquainted with old-timey armor, and a run in with one of the most popular pop stars on the planet! But the biggest adventure is the I.D.E.A. symposium.

There, Melody meets kids from all over the world who are rallying for greater accessibility and more thoughtful planning on how to make the world more equal for every kid, no matter the challenges they face. But as Melody’s time to speak approaches, big-time nerves set in: how can a girl who’s never spoken a word out loud in her life give an entire speech?

Critic reviews

"Narrator Sisi Aisha Johnson creates a determined voice for seventh-grader Melody, who has cerebral palsy and uses a device to communicate with others...Johnson excels at expressing Melody’s mixed emotions as she faces challenges in the initial emergency and then later in her travels. Listeners and fans of the first two novels in this series will cheer for Melody once again as she shares her story and ideas with the world."

Dream Big and do hard things

As humans, we are each capable of doing bigger and harder things, than even we can imagine. We each may feel limited by things that are out of our control, and by things that we wish were different about ourselves.

In this last book in the “Out of my mind” series, Melody learns that she is capable and that she has strengths and gifts that make her brilliant, and while she feels limited by her lack of voice, she learns to push past her fears to accomplish her dreams!

Awesome

OMG this story is amazing. My daughter is in a wheelchair, though she can speak and she loves this book! the night after she read this. She told me she was so happy Melody and the book was able to reach her dreams. 10 stars. also, the whole series is awesome. Read all of it!

My review

Plot twist but kind of predictable and it is part of a series and I like that. I also enjoyed it when he got on the news stuff.
