A New York Times bestseller for three years and counting!

“A gutsy, candid, and compelling story. It speaks volumes.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Unflinching and realistic.” —KirkusReviews (starred review)

From award-winning author Sharon Draper comes a story that will forever change how we all look at anyone with a disability, perfect for fans of RJ Palacio’s Wonder.

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.

Amazon.com Review

Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school—but no one knows it. Most people--her teachers and doctors included--don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again and again. If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows . . . but she can't, because Melody can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write.

Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind--that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice . . . but not everyone around her is ready to hear it.

From multiple Coretta Scott King Award winner Sharon M. Draper comes a story full of heartache and hope. Get ready to meet a girl whose voice you'll never, ever forget.

A Note to Readers from Author Sharon Draper

People often ask me, "What was your inspiration for Out of my Mind?" I reply, "All great stories emerge from deep truths that rest within us." But the real truth of a story often can be found in places that not even the author has dared to explore. I suppose the character of Melody came from my experiences in raising a child with developmental difficulties. But Melody is not my daughter. Melody is pure fiction--a unique little girl who has come into being from a mixture of love and understanding. Out of my Mind is the story of a ten-year-old-girl who cannot walk or talk. She has spirit, determination, intelligence and wit, and no one knows it. But from buildings that are not wheelchair--accessible to classmates who make fun of her she finds a strength within herself she never knew existed.

I was fiercely adamant that nobody feel sorry for Melody. I wanted her to be accepted as a character and as a person, not as a representative for people with disabilities. Melody is a tribute to all the parents of disabled kids who struggle, to all those children who are misunderstood, to all those caregivers who help every step of the way. It's also written for people who look away, who pretend they don't see, or who don't know what to say when they encounter someone who faces life with obvious differences. Just smile and say hello!

--Sharon M. Draper

From School Library Journal

Gr 4–6—Melody is an intelligent 11-year-old girl with a photographic memory and cerebral palsy. She can't walk or talk, but she is hungry to learn and eager for language to express herself. Draper has crafted a likable protagonist with typical tween thoughts and emotions—Melody dreams that she will be the first chosen for school projects and games—all of which are compounded by the difficulties of living with cerebral palsy. Her patience and persistence are inspiring traits that will encourage and affirm the efforts of her readers. Sisi Aisha Johnson has created a charming Melody and successfully voices the girl's parents, teachers, and doctors. VERDICT This is a recommended purchase for all school and public libraries. ["Kids will benefit from being introduced to Melody and her gutsy, candid, and compelling story": SLJ 3/10 review of the S. & S. Atheneum book.]—Mary Lee Bulat, Harwinton Public Library, CT

I loved this book! I am a 62 year old person, so don't let the 'recommend ages' fool you 😏 I Can't wait to read the next one! This book gives insight into the life of a young person who is non-verbal, and pretty much paralyzed, but with a mind that is brilliant! It's told by her, and is not textbookish, but just a great, easy to read, funny, and sad at times, look into her life and her family 🙂 I think everyone, but especially teachers, OT's, PT's and Speech therapists should read this. I really, really enjoyed this book ♥️

I work as a CNA at a facility for long term acute care of people with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. This book was left by the family in the room of a younger patient (teenager) who had to be supervised 1-on-1 at all times due to his injury. I have since heavily suggested it to many of my coworkers in healthcare and child care. It is a very simple read, but very moving and thought provoking even so.

"Out of My Mind" is the story of a little girl who just wants to be able to be heard and seen. She has spastic quadriplegia and cerebral palsy, but a photographic memory. She remembers everything that she has ever heard or seen, but is able to say nothing. I would ask you to take a moment and contemplate what it would be like to be in that position. She is treated as a baby, an invalid, someone stupid and incompetent because she looses control of her muscles and can't behave as a "normal" child. Can you imagine having above average intelligence and memory, but everyone treats you as if you have the mental capacity of an 18 month old... and no way to correct them?

This is the story of how she was able to develop the skills and be given the tools to make her voice heard. It is also a coming-of-age story. It's the story of her commentary on how people treat her, and her experiences being in "special" education classes, how she is able to see the beauty and wisdom in her classmates that the rest of the school has "thrown away" in the dingiest classrooms in the corner of the school. It's also the story of a 5th grade little girl's desire to be accepted just as she is.

As someone who commonly works with TBIs, it's also a reminder of the proverbial "don't judge a book by its cover". I may be working with someone who is completely unresponsive, but it's impossible to know how much is actually being understood and comprehended. I have had coworkers who either treat unresponsive patients like nothing more than dolls or like idiots, and it always offends me.

While this is a young adult book, it is definitely a book also important for adults to read. I would read this with an elementary-aged school child, but I would also read it with an adult group. It's a fast read - written as though by a very intelligent 5th grader - but the message is much more complex and powerful.

This is an excellent book, well written, and well worth your time. Its lessons and characters will not be quickly forgotten. Fans of vampires, zombies, and gore should go elsewhere; this one is for someone with a keen intellect and a sense of humor. Someone who'd like to learn what life might be like for a person who simply cannot communicate her higher thoughts and emotions, although they're always boiling away in the percolator of her videocamera mind.

You might know or be related to a special needs child or grownup. Then again, perhaps you don't often think about special needs people because they're "invisible" to society in general, or perhaps you look away when they pass because you don't want them to think you are staring, or perhaps you'd rather not think about it at all because you feel all creeped out. Maybe if you knew that they're actually just like anyone else, you'd feel better. Here's an eloquent peek inside just such a life.

First, let me say that I concur entirely with the researchers who say that "spoilers" do not spoil a story for most skilled readers, so I'm not going to fret about leaving behind clues to the events in this tale. On the other hand, you can get a good synopsis from just about every other review, so I won't be summarizing the story. I want to address instead the value of what you take away from the tale. From here on, *spoiler alert* for those who worry about such things.

The writing is smooth and funny, and the prose is cadenced, so readers who are accustomed to the plod-plod-thump of potboilers may be pleasantly surprised. The story is in intimate first person, and for once the reader is plunked into the mind of someone who is locked into a malfunctioning physical prison. She has no way to show or tell others about her (high) abilities and must endure constant frustration at not even being able to tell someone when something is going wrong. She eventually gets a very rudimentary way (a picture board) to communicate, but it's useless for abstract thoughts and for anything that the pictures don't tell about. Her world opens up when she finally gets a Medi-Talker like Big Steve Hawking's so people realize that there are great thoughts inside her. (Whether they appreciate this is a mixed issue.)

I do agree with the quibble that others have brought up: nowadays, when someone needs and can use a "box of words," he or she is generally issued one by the time he or she starts school. It takes an awfully long time in this book for anyone to come up with the idea of giving one to the main character. I would've liked to hear some kind of excuse as to why this couldn't be afforded previously and how someone suddenly found a charity that would pay for it. That would've given us a reason for the long delay.

I can't agree with critics who say that the author shouldn't let "bad things" and "mean people" stand unchanged. That's realistic. There have been objections saying that the bullies don't change, and the other characters in the book don't change. I believe that in this type of story, a character arc of redemption doesn't have to happen for everybody. Bullies sometimes stay bullies and often get worse over time. Didn't these readers notice that the teacher had a change of heart from not believing that Melody could have done her own work on the quizzes to knowing that she got every answer right and putting her on the team? He redeemed himself somewhat in that way. But then he fell back into the swamp like a backslider when he didn't insist on holding the flight for her. (This is, alas, typical of people. Because they are not saints. They are but mortal flesh with souls that sometimes go with the most expedient answer instead of the right action.)

Bullies like Claire and Molly are out there. We have all come across them. Ditto for Rose, who is a pleaser, a classic "I want everyone to like me" type who is not sincere about her "friendship" pose and reveals her true colors in the end. Melody's reaction of standing up for herself at the end of the novel was totally appropriate, and THAT was the lesson we were to take away--standing up for what's right. Not a pretend lesson of sweetness and light that would lie to us and tell us that all bullies turn into friends and people always repent and are redeemed. Sometimes the apology you get is too little and too late.

After seeing the reviews that bemoaned the "awful things at the end of the book," I feared that it meant the dog or a person might die; worry not, however, because everyone lives. I want to tell you that in advance because it SLAYS me when things like that happen, especially for egregious reasons. I like to know going in that no pets or grandparents or children were zapped in the course of the book. Yes, a crisis takes place, but it's ultimately OK. The incident is meant to show that Melody still faces challenges in communication, even though things are much better. And that people who are angry and in a hurry can make awful mistakes. Life is like that. I have defended similar plot choices in more than one of my published novels because even though people in publishing said they wanted YA fiction to always show that there's a second chance, I believe that sometimes there is not, and we must find ways to cope and assign meaning anyway. Sometimes the cookie just crumbles, despite our best efforts.

Still, the heroine's dream is crushed because of silly middle school posturing, and she can't communicate with her mother at a critical moment (although WHY her box of words was ever not in her hands I don't know--I know of one student with such a device, and it NEVER leaves her side, even to ride in the car!) This is life. These things happen, and we have to cope and find the meaning in the events and figure out how to do it differently next time, if we can.

So for those who claim that it's too difficult an ending to inflict on young readers--hey, this is LIFE and that is the sort of thing that happens. I can totally believe that they "accidentally" left her behind so they wouldn't have "the retard" (a term one of the bullies actually uses! If anyone wants to get outraged, get outraged about that pejorative term!) on their team. The other students were not happy about the extra attention from reporters that focused on Melody. They didn't want her at their breakfast because she couldn't feed herself and they thought it unsightly, no doubt--and when the opportunity arose to leave before planes were grounded, they skipped out on her. I can see this happening.

As for the sister being hurt--well, the mother was angry and impatient and having to do something she didn't want to do, and so she wouldn't check out WHY Melody was upset and trying to tell her something. People are just LIKE that. The lesson is that we should avoid this sort of acting in anger. It would be nice if I could learn that myself.

People have complained that the book is ageist or too "mean." I think that to invoke political correctness (always showing people of all ages being all-diversity-loving and so forth) is to dumb down a work of realistic fiction. You really have to hunt to find instances of the young being shown as "nicer" than the old here--especially since the caregiver who finally gets Melody a box of words is an older woman. Also, the author is African American, yet she gives no indication as to the races of the various characters. Color-blindness here is a GOOD thing and should be lauded.

I sort of wish that the title could be different, especially because Andy Rooney has a book in print by that same title. It isn't really indicative to me of the book's content.

In summary, the pluses of the book far outweigh any quibbles that we may have. I think young readers NEED to be exposed to realistic endings. And to the possibility that appearances can be deceptive. Next time you see someone who appears to be "slow," "dumb," hampered, or whatever . . . well, it may be decieving. You don't know what difficulties and hurts others may have. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes today, or roll a few yards in their adaptive device, and THEN tell me you don't understand . . . I think you'll start to understand.

Out of My Mind is the story of a pre-teen girl, Melody. It is a first-person narrative mostly about what's going on inside her mind, hence the name.

Melody was born with cerebral palsy. She cannot stand. When she sits, she has to be strapped to her chair to prevent her from tumbling down. She has problems chewing and swallowing food or even drinking water. And she cannot speak. When she tries to talk, “the words explode in her brain, but all that comes out are meaningless sounds and squeaks.”

But Melody’s brain has developed normally. In fact, her intelligence is well above average and she is always eager to learn. She is also blessed with a photographic memory. Her most painful problem is that she has no way of communicating her knowledge, thoughts or emotions to anyone. As she writes, “I can say “uh” and “ah” pretty clearly, and, if I concentrate, sometimes I can squeeze out a “buh” or a “huh.” But that’s it.”

Very few things can be more frustrating than this inability to express or communicate. But even her frustration she cannot express! When I read some of her passages describing how she needed to communicate but even someone like her mother who was one person who came closest to understanding her, would often fail to understand, I was reminded of a poem- The Eve of St Agnes by John Keats in which he wrote:
“No uttered syllable, or, woe betide!
But to her heart, her heart was voluble,
Paining with eloquence her balmy side;
As though a tongueless nightingale should swell
Her throat in vain, and die, heart-stifled, in her dell.”

When Melody’s helplessness overwhelms her, her arms and legs get all tight and “lash out like tree limbs in a storm.” She begins to screech and scream and jerk. She writes: “These things—I call them my “tornado explosions”—are pieces of me. All the stuff that does not work gets balled up and hyped up. I can’t stop, even though I want to, even though I know I’m freaking people out. I lose myself. It can get kinda ugly.”

Melody does go to school. But there is a class for special needs children and she sits there. Feeling miserable because often she is treated as an imbecile because she drools, needs to be taken to the toilet by an attendant and doesn’t speak or even raise her hand.

A teacher joins the school who introduces the concept of “inclusive periods” where for some sessions she sits in the same class as normal needs children. That is not an unmixed blessing either.

As Melody writes, “But “inclusion” doesn’t mean I’m included in everything. I usually sit in the back of the room, going crazy because I know answers to things and can’t tell anybody. “What’s the definition of the word ‘dignity’?” one of my teachers asked a few days ago. Of course I knew, so I raised my hand, but the teacher didn’t notice the small movement I’m able to make. And even if she were to call on me, what then? I can’t very well yell out the answers. It’s really frustrating.”

Because Melody does not speak, others just presume that she has nothing to say. As her classmate Claire once said, “I’m not trying to be mean—honest—but it just never occurred to me that Melody had thoughts in her head.”

Many of us would have come across special needs people. While we do feel sympathy for them, I realised after reading this book that what such people need most is not our sympathy or even kindness; they need to be treated as just another person. As Melody’s mother once says, “A person is so much more than the name of a diagnosis on a chart!”

No person’s illness should be treated as her identity.

It’s a sad story but the book is very readable and also very educative.

I bought this book for my 11yr old daughters. As a mom of tweens I was struggling to find age appropriate books as they are both avid readers. From the first chapter my daughter was hooked!! She couldn’t put it down and was eager to tell me about everything that was happening in the story, (being careful to not let her sister hear so she wouldn’t ruin it for her). It brought about many conversations about important topics and left her with a heightened appreciation for those that are exceptional in their own way. I think that this book is a great read for all ages.

The only reason why I didn't cry during the last parts of this book was the fact that I was reading it in public and I tried really, REALLY hard not to cry in public (and failed a little bit...)

I LOVED this story! It made me feel all kinds of things. I was angry, happy, snappy, sad and really frustrated. Melody is such an amazing and relate-able little girl.
And oh boy, kids can be so mean and teachers can be so dumb. Overall: this book took me by surprise. I didn't expect to love it so much. It's definitely one of my favorite books.
