Out Of My Mind is about a girl named Melody Brooks who was diagnosed with a disease called cerebral palsy. That means she can’t walk, feed herself or worse, talk. But luckily, her neighbor Mrs. V helps her to make a communication board so she can point to the words when someone asks her a question. A few weeks later, her mom becomes pregnant and has a little girl named Peggy. When Melody started fifth grade, her teacher lets everyone in her class join the regular kids’ class. She even got an aide that can help her throughout school. No one thinks Melody can do it, even her teacher, but Melody passes a practice quiz with a perfect score. Then Melody’s aide looked up a computer that could talk for her and she found one called the Media-Talker.
