Out Of My Mind by Sharon Draper

Melody remembers everything since the moment she was born.  She is so extremely advanced but nobody knows it.  Nobody knows because Melody can't talk.  Melody has cerebral palsy. Melody is in a wheelchair.  She can't run, eat, or go to the bathroom by herself.  Well, actually  she can't run at all.  She has to keep all  her thoughts in her head.  Until she discovers the Medi-Talker, a machine that talks for people who can not talk.  Some people in Melody's class don't think she should be able to talk.  They think she doesn't have thoughts or feelings.  You'll need tissues to read this book.

Boom by Mark Haddon

Jim must agree that some of his actions are just plain stupid.  Jim sometimes just does things, without even thinking.  Usually things end up well, but this time, Jim isn't really sure.  Charlie might be one of the reasons.  Charlie likes to take risks.  When you ignore your best friend, you will always come crawling back.  That's what happened to Jim.  He knew that going into his teacher's house was not a good idea, just because he was suspicious that she talks a strange language with one other teacher alone.  He just went along with Charlie because ignoring your friend is a hard thing to do, so you just give in.  After that moment, when they went into their teacher's house and found things, weird stuff started to happen.  This book will keep you on your toes!
