In Sharon M. Draper’s Out of My Mind, readers fell in love with 11-year-old protagonist Melody, who has cerebral palsy but refuses to be defined by her disability. After almost a decade since becoming engrossed in her story — and many pleas for an encore — fans finally get to find out what happened to this gutsy girl.
In the highly-anticipated sequel Out of My Heart, which comes out today, Melody’s narrative continues a year later as she heads off to summer camp. She’s on a mission to find a place where she can finally make a real friend, make her own decisions and do things on her own.
Follow Melody as she discovers just how brave and strong she really is. The book is a must-read for middle schoolers who will empathize with her journey as she navigates her first crush, gains autonomy and faces her fears.
Grab your copy now — it’s bound to be a topic of discussion in the school hallways, and makes the perfect holiday gift for the tween in your life. |
