The Music Inside Me

I haven't spoken a word so far. I'm almost eleven years old.

A breathtaking novel full of sadness and hope from Sharon M. Draper, the author who won one of England's prestigious literary awards, Coratta Scott King. It was written by taking inspiration from a real life story. 11-year-old Melody's illness is Spastic bilateral quadriplegia, or cerebral palsy. She can't walk, she can't talk, she's confined to a wheelchair. This little girl, who can't give commands to any of her limbs, has a perfectly functioning brain. The story tells Melody's struggle to prove herself to her teachers, friends, neighbors, and in short, to the outside world. A delicate, naive, fluent, funny and inspiring work. Are you ready to meet this brave girl whose voice you'll never forget?
