If you like this one, be sure to check out the first story about Melody, OUT OF MY MIND (you can find my feature on that book here). Kids will especially like the very short chapters (Chapter 1 is only a page) and Melody's very engaging voice! One of the best things about this story is how differences become strengths for the characters. Melody has Cerebral Palsy, and the author did lots of careful research to make sure that Melody comes across as a real person, with feelings, dreams, and friendships. The main character, Melody, is positive, has a great sense of humor, and has a lot of fun, even when she's worried. If you're like me, and thinking about those fun summer days, you'll love this wonderful read from Sharon M. For some reason, snowy winter days make me feel like reading books about the summer.
