This is a trilogy that will make you smile, cry and laugh from award-winning and New York Times-bestselling Sharon M. Draper. Following a young protagonist with cerebral palsy, the books have been so successful there is now an original movie on Disney+ based on them.
Eleven-year-old Melody has cerebral palsy. She also has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She’s 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 can’t tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And once she makes that decision, she finds herself on an incredible journey of facing her fears, following her passions and discovering how brave and strong she truly is.
This trilogy is a perfect read if you are a fan of Wonder.
