Out of my Mind by Sharon M. Draper

Out of my Mind by Sharon M. Draper is a heartwarming book. Melody, a ten year old girl, has cerebral palsy and gets bullied a lot in school. She has many adventures and hard times but she tries to live her life to the fullest. When she gets a tool to help her talk, her life changes forever.

This is an AMAZING book. It actually made me shed some tears. Melody is an inspiration, she goes through many hard times yet she stays so strong. I wish I could meet her but she is not real. The author, Sharon, is an amazing writer and did a terrific job on this book.  In our school we have a girl that has similar disabilities like Melody. She has similar ways of life and certain ways to do things too. They both are very strong people that have showed me how to have hope in some really hard situations. I hope that one day you will read this book too!

Seven Wonders the Colossus Rises by Peter Lerangis

Seven Wonders the Colossus Rises by Peter Lerangis is about an 11 year old kid named Jack who ends up in an unusual hospital in the middle of nowhere. Doctors say that he has a certain amount of time to live because of a reason I’m not going to spoil. Jack meets people that also have a short amount of time to live. Together they have to find items that could potentially save them.

I really like this book because it is entertaining. It is also action packed and full of interesting parts about survival and mystery. The character Jack is very smart and there is some tension between the characters.  I connect to Jack in this way. Jack is smart and can make friends easily and can think in ways that some people can’t.
