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. And now with her Medi-talker, she feels nothing’s out of her reach, not even summer camp. There have to be camps for differently-abled kids like her, and she’s going to sleuth one out. A place where she can trek through a forest, fly on a zip line, and even ride on a horse! A place where maybe she really can finally make a real friend, make her own decisions, and even do things on her own—the dream!

By the light of flickering campfires and the power of thunderstorms, through the terror of unexpected creatures in cabins and the first sparkle of a crush, Melody’s about to discover how brave and strong she really is.

Out of My Heart is truly a tearful story of Melony. The story is such a moving tale that shows encouragement and the true meaning of being brave. Camp Green Glades is such a fun place to camp, full of activities for campers. The camp is a place where Melony finds the beauty of being courage. If one can conquer one thing, why not all? Anything is possible if one believe in themselves and Melody was such a sweet heroine to cheer for.

Out of My Heart should be read at schools. It really teaches the value to the readers about encouragement and the power of will. Melony is such a fun and fierce character that we all can learn a thing or two. I personally enjoyed reading the book and even made tear up in couple of scenes. I would recommend this story to everyone!
