Out of my Mind by Sharon M. Draper

So I actually tried to read this book a couple years back when it first came out, and I couldn't get into it. I wanted to give it another chance, so I picked it up again. And I LOVED it. it was a total page turner. It is about a girl with cerebral palsy, (making her wheel chair bound) she also has vocal limitations, (grunts, laughs, whines, screeches, thats about all she can do) despite every thing, she is a GENIUS. She uses her photographic memory to help her on to the Whiz Kids team, and prove every one wrong. WARNING----- SPOILER ALERT------ the ending is sad. really sad. O.K. SPOILER ALERT-OVER. Anyway, I could not stop reading, I even read in the car! Definitely recommend.
