Out of My Heart cover

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.

"A deeply satisfying and worthy continuation of a beloved story." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED * September 15, 2021 *
"Melody’s voice is as wryly funny as ever, and the supporting cast, which features kids and adults of various ethnicities and disabilities, treat her with respect and empathy… it’s impossible not to be charmed by the witty protagonist’s affirming, frequently ecstatic discovery of what it means to be part of a community that truly understands her.”

  -- Publishers Weekly *STARRED REVIEW* * October 11, 2021 *

[…] Full of fun and the brightness of the future, Melody's summertime adventure will delight readers old and new and leave them hoping for another installment. The best-selling Out of My Mind won countless hearts, which will eagerly seek out Melody's latest outing. -- Booklist * 11/01/2021 *
