Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She cant walk. She cant talk. She cant write. All because she has cerebral palsy. But she also has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. Shes the smartest kid in her whole school, but NO ONE knows it. Most people her teachers, her doctors, her classmates dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cant tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And shes determined to let everyone know it somehow.
