The bug lands gently and the young girl watches it flickering. The first paragraph of chapter one describes a hovering firefly over the back of Melody’s hand. The author, Sharon Draper, uses metaphors to relate the life of Melody to that of the firefly. The moment Melody gets the freedom to go to new settings away from home, she is filled with joy. Throughout her life, she has been confined to a wheelchair. With her courage, determination, and perseverance, Melody manages to convince her parents to book her a summer camp. The book features the story of Melody Brooks, a courageous young girl, who proves that disability should not be an obstacle when finding happiness.
