Melody faces her fears to follow her passion in this stunning sequel to the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling middle grade novel Out of My Mind.
Melody, the huge-hearted heroine of Out of My Mind, is a year
older, and a year braver. And now with her Medi-talker, she feels nothing’s out
of her reach, not even summer camp. There have to be camps for
differently-abled kids like her, and she’s going to sleuth one out. A place
where she can trek through a forest, fly on a zip line, and even ride on a
horse! A place where maybe she really can finally make a real friend, make her
own decisions, and even do things on her own—the dream!
By the light of flickering campfires and the power of thunderstorms, through
the terror of unexpected creatures in cabins and the first sparkle of a crush,
Melody’s about to discover how brave and strong she really is.
Reviews:
"A deeply satisfying and worthy
continuation of a beloved story." (Kirkus Reviews, STARRED September 15,
2021)
“Melody Brooks, a smart, determined 12-year-old diagnosed with cerebral palsy,
returns in this sequel to 2010’s Out of My Mind. Longing for independence from
her family and daily routines, she persuades her parents to let her attend Camp
Green Glades, a summer camp for kids with disabilities in her home state of
Ohio. With the help of her Jamaican American counselor Trinity and three
cabinmates, Melody navigates new experiences—including zip-lining, horseback
riding, and a first crush. Melody’s voice is as wryly funny as ever, and the
supporting cast, which features kids and adults of various ethnicities and
disabilities, treat her with respect and empathy… it’s impossible not to be
charmed by the witty protagonist’s affirming, frequently ecstatic discovery of
what it means to be part of a community that truly understands her.” (Publishers Weekly *STARRED REVIEW* October 11, 2021)

My Reviews:
Out of My Mind is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by Sharon M Draper. I thought it was a great read. The characters were fun and entertaining. It was a delight from start to finish. I could not put it down until I read the very last page.
I am giving Out of My Mind a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of nine and thirteen years of age. I look forward to more by Sharon M Draper in the future and hope there will be many more books to come from this Out of My Mind series.
I received a hard cover copy of Out of My Mind from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Out of My Heart is the second installment from the Out of My Mind series. I had the pleasure of reading the first book, titled same as the series, and I really enjoyed it. I was far from being disappointed reading this one. If it was possible, I think I liked this one even more. The characters are relatable and so fun to see what was going to happen to them next.
I am giving Out of My Heart a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of nine and thirteen years of age. I look forward to more by Sharon M Draper in the future.
