Out of My Mind
This special movie tie-in edition showcases a new cover with an image from the original movie now available on Disney+! A New York Times bestseller for three years and counting! "Unflinching and realistic." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From award-winning author Sharon Draper comes a "gutsy, candid, and compelling" (School Library Journal, starred review) story that will forever change how we all look at anyone with a disability, perfect for fans of RJ Palacio's Wonder. Eleven-year-old Melody is not like most people. She can't walk. She can't talk. She can't write. All because she has cerebral palsy. But she also has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She's the smartest kid in her whole school, but NO ONE knows it. Most people--her teachers, her doctors, her classmates--dismiss her as mentally challenged because she can't tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by her disability. And she's determined to let everyone know it...somehow.
Picasso and the Greatest Show on Earth
A sweetly moving story about friendship and finding happiness, for readers who loved Wonder. Frances is in a new house in a new neighborhood and going to a new school, but no amount of new can make her forget the old, sad secret dragging at her heart. Not the pictures of bacteria that she draws with painstaking precision, not even Picasso, the puppy with the long soft ears and the cute black circle like a target on his bottom. Then Frances meets Kit, the tall, quiet boy with the two-colored eyes. Kit is a real artist. His colored pencils fill page after page of exercise books. He sees wonder in the rocks and ferns and sky. Though Kit has worries of his own. But when secrets are spilled, Frances's life turns grey and drab. Not even Picasso's wet nose can brighten her up. Frances and Kit will need to face the truth of their pasts to find color in their world again. After all, don't the most brilliant sunsets need a cloudy sky? A beautiful novel about finding the remarkable in the ordinary and celebrating the wonder of every day, from the award-winning author of Borrowed Light. 'Marvellous, mind-opening, and deeply moving. The best book yet from this irresistible author.' Morris Gleitzman 'A beautifully written novel that encompasses such big things ... Frances, Kit and Picasso will stay with me for quite a while.' Karen Foxlee 'I loved this book with my whole heart. It's truly beautiful. And a gift to readers, young and old.' Maryam Master 'Push this into the hands of anyone who loved Storm Boy or Lenny's Book of Everything.' Books+Publishing
