Out of my heart is about a girl named Melody who has special needs. Melody longs for some independence and begs her parents to let her go to sleep-away camp. Melody faces fears meets new people, and has a very crazy summer experience. I loved that Sharon Draper wrote the characters so that the reader feels as if they are standing there right in the story. The one thing I didn't like about this story was that the story had a couple parts when I started to cringe. I would recomend this book to anybody searching for a realistic fiction book with a little twist.
