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""A deeply satisfying and worthy continuation of a beloved story."--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED "September 15, 2021" 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.
