Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

What would you do if you couldn't talk, walk, or control your body?  Most people couldn't survive a day, but for Melody this has been her existence for her entire life.  Although Melody's body suffers from Cerebral Palsy, which leaves her relying on others to take care of her, her mind is brilliant. Unfortunately, most people assume because she can't do anything, then she can't think anything either.  But when Melody is finally able to communicate with the world, her classmates discover that Melody is just like them!
