Coretta Scott King Award-winning middle grade author Sharon Draper presents a sequel to her beloved novels “Out of My Mind” and “Out of My Heart.” 

Melody is shocked and delighted when she’s nominated to be a US spokesperson at an international symposium for kids with different abilities. She finally gets to fly on an airplane, and even the airline’s somewhat clumsy handling of her wheelchair can’t dampen her excitement to be in London. There, Melody meets kids from all over the world who are rallying for greater accessibility and more thoughtful planning on how to make the world more equal for every kid, no matter the unusual challenges they face.
