Atticus recalled the events from chapter 24 before reading chapters 25 and 26 of “Out of My Mind.”The story continued predictably, with Melodie’s team winning the local Whiz Kids championship. Melodie’s desire to feel “normal” and “one of the group” seems about to be realized until the team celebrates their win with a meal. Once again, her differences become the focus, and Melodie feels unseen.
We had a robust discussion about Melodie’s mother’s character. Atticus provides support for his opinion that she is a rude person.
