Watch it tonight if you want a genuinely uplifting story about a brilliant kid proving the world wrong—this adaptation of Sharon M. Draper's beloved book has heart, an important message, and solid family appeal without being saccharine.
Plot
Melody Brooks, a sixth grader with cerebral palsy, has a quick wit and a sharp mind, but because she is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair, she is not given the same opportunities as her classmates. When a young educator notices her student's untapped potential and Melody starts to participate in mainstream education, Melody shows that what she has to say is more important than how she says it.
