place

 Melody’s House
time
 All around the clock
Problem(s)
 Melody can’t express her thoughts when her family
needs them most.
 Everyone treats Melody like she has no brain and like
she has a disease that messed up her brain, when in
retrospect she is WAY smarter then them!
 All of Melody’s smarts are stuck in her head, and she
can’t stand it!
Solution
 Melody gets help and devices that I won’t tell you
about, but I will tell you that Melody ends up standing
up for herself in front of her classmates. Also she
realizes that “normal” isn't always better!

Character Traits Melody Showed
 Kindness-Melody bought a thank you card for Ms. V
(Melody’s neighbor)and Catherine(her helper) and
thought of them before herself
 Bravery-Melody wanted to be like everyone else that
don’t have physical problems, so she tried out for the
Wiz Kidz team
 Thoughtful- Melody flailed her arms and made a
screeching noise to make her mom aware whenever
she saw someone getting hurt
Rating
 This was one of the best books I have ever read!(TOTALLY)
• This was an OK book(no)
• This was the worst book I have ever read(DEFINITELY
NOT!)
Recommendation
 I would totally recommend this book to you. Out of
My Mind book is realistic fiction and EXTREMELY
deep, so if you are someone who really like thoughtful,
nice(and a little bit sad) books that really get you
thinking, you would LOVE Out of My Mind!!!!!!
