Well-written YA novel whose main character is trapped within her own mind by her disabilities until she acquires a computer adaptation that allows her to "speak".
This is where Draper makes some interesting choices, demonstrating that, while the tool is amazing in opening many doors for Melody, human nature and the vagaries of fate don't always go Disney for young protagonists.
Turns out Melody is scary-smart, but she's not perfect, and she's not an angel. She gets angry. She gets hurt. She tries hard, has some successes and some failures. Through it, she continues to grow and to change and to seek out a balance in her life that she can't achieve in her body.
