Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

Draper's book was awesome. Definitely different from all of her other books---getting into the mind of a girl with cerebral palsy is just the kind of book EVERYONE needs to read.

I really enjoyed Melody! She was feisty, she loved Mrs V (she got Melody).

Beyond Books new and unfreindly log-in

Do any of you subscribe to Beyond Books?

One cannot directly connect to the topical pages of this product. This discourages students from using this.

Has any one had realized this? If you have, it would probably be helpful to complain to the Apex Learning Company, publisher of Beyond Books.
