What would  you do if your mother got Evicted from your apartment? What if you just started school and  know you have  to go to a institution?





Let me tell you a little about Sam Davis. Sam has cerebral palsy, twelve-year old boy and loves basketball. Sam can read and point out letters for a essay if someone can dictate  his sentences, But don't let the word WHEELCHIAR fool you he is a smart cookie.

Sam's nurse (Miss. Perkins) has been with him since little boy. Miss. Perkins does not want him in a  institution. Miss. Perkins has taught him all she knows.

Mrs. Davis (Sam's Mom) does not have a husband, since the couple got a devoice, Sam's mom been rising  him.





Before Sam leaves school he submits a essay about a wartime hero. Will he win?

I give this book  5 stars. 

                                               

Out of my mind

out of my mind by:Sharon Draper

One of many books I found on goodreads was out of my mind. When I found it in the library catalog, it looked interesting, but I waited tell I got back from my mini vacation to check it out.

Melody is a girl who can't talk,because of CP, but don't let that fool you inside she has a lot to say. What will melody do when fifth grade she starts moving around to two different classroom other that the special ed room. 

When Melody's one class try's a practice quiz (whiz kids quiz) she dose amazing and better than her classmates. Will she try to do the real quiz?  Will she make the team?

I give this a five star review
