To Melody’s utter shock and delight, her parents say yes. Yes!

    Out of My Dreams

    By Sharon M. Draper

    About the Book

    “Much of my life has been made up of dreams and wishes,” thinks twelve-year-old Melody Brooks. (Chapter thirty) She dreams one night of giving a speech to a crowd—a dream that seems impossible to her, just like any wish she has of traveling far from home. Melody needs a wheelchair to get around and an assistive device like a speaking computer to communicate at all. Yet sometimes dreams come true. Through an act of kindness and quick thinking, Melody helps rescue an elderly neighbor and finds herself hailed as a hero. Her heroism expands her world beyond her wildest dreams—leading her to London, new friendships, surprising adventures, and a wide-open future, in this touching, joyful novel.

    Discussion Questions

    1. Describe Melody in terms of her family, friends, everyday life, strengths, and challenges. How does she feel about school? What role did camp play in her life? What are some of her dreams and wishes?

    2. In her dream in the first chapter, Melody is about to give a speech. In the next chapter, she explains that she can’t talk. She then adds, “But that doesn’t shut me up. So don’t be feeling sorry for me. Because I have a lot to say.” What does this foreshadow about the rest of the story? What does she have to say? How does this statement express her personality?

    3. Recount the scene where Melody helps rescue Miss Gertie. What problems does Melody face in trying to be helpful? Why do people label her a hero? How does she feel about that? Why does she wonder if the publicity is “because I’m what they call ‘disabled’?” (Chapter nine)
