Here is what I like about Sharon Draper’s book. I like that Sharon Draper created a character that is relatable. “Since I never had trouble thinking or remembering, it actually sort of surprised me that I couldn’t do stuff. And it made me angry.” She feels likes she trapped in her own body. Like us sometimes. Sharon Draper’s book lets us feel what Melody feels. “Brightly colored packages of plastic blocks. Just that morning I had seen a warning on television about that toy – they were being recalled because the blocks had been paint with lead paint.” She is wearing for others so I can tell she is kind. Sharon Draper gives an unusual point of view. “I can’t talk. I can’t walk. I can’t feed myself or take myself to the bathroom. Big bummer.” The main character can’t talk or take keir of herself. Sharon Draper’s book is a lot better than you would think. At first it is slow than it gets better.
