Out Of My Mind

I LOVE THIS BOOK SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

"Out of My Mind" by Sharon M. Draper is one of my favorite books I've ever read! I had to read it for a Children's Lit class I was taking to get my undergrad and I'm pretty sure I had that book devoured in 2 days!

It's from the perspective of a little girl with Cerebral Palsy. This novel takes you on a beautiful journey of this girls life in a wheel chair. It talks about communication, friends and fitting in when society tells you that you're different and have to take a "special bus".

I was an adult when I first read it and was balling because how profoundly it was written. Now y'all may be thinking that its a sad book... quite the opposite. It is hilarious! I had my 4th graders (I read it to them for a read a loud this last year) crying because it was so funny. There are some heart pounding parts, but they all add layers to the masterpiece that is this novel.

GO AND READ THIS BOOK!!!! I promise you will love it and so will your kiddos!

Barnes and Noble has it for $9 paperback and Amazon has it for around $4 used.

Now, go and READ!!
