The Music Inside Me - Sharon M. draper

I haven't spoken a word yet. I'm almost eleven years old. A novel to be read breathlessly, full of sadness and hope, from Coratta Scott King award-winning author Sharon M. Draper, one of England's prestigious literary awards. It was written inspired by a real life story. 11-year-old Melody's disease is called spastic bilateral quadriplegia - that is, cerebral palsy. He can't walk, he can't talk, he's confined to a wheelchair. The brain of this little girl, who cannot give commands to any of her limbs, functions perfectly. The story tells about Melody's effort to prove herself to her teachers, friends, neighbors, in short, to the outside world. A subtle, naive, fluent, funny and inspiring work. Are you ready to meet this brave girl whose voice you will never forget?
