Melody is an optimistic, enthusiastic girl growing up in Detroit, Michigan during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. She is excited and proud to share a special surprise with her family. She's been chosen to sing a solo for Youth Day at her church! But what song will she choose? She gets advice from her big brother, and is also inspired by her older sister, but it's the inspirational words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that help her pick the perfect song. There are many unfair things happening during Melody's time, even to people in her own family. But it's an unimaginable tragedy in the South that leaves Melody silent. Who can help her lift her voice and sing? Who will inspire her to keep stepping?

cool book
This is a great book and I recommend it to everyone. This book tells a great story about a girl named Melody and her family.
I like Melody's name because it is sweet.
This fun book was about a girl named Melody who loved to sing. She finally has a chance to sing in public, but something stops her. Is there anything that can bring the music back to Melody?
its great loved it i rented it from the public libary you should read it it awesome i recommed this book for other girls ,
This was not a fun book for me. i did not enjoy it because it was all about American girl dolls and dont like them
I liked this American Girl book more than other ones. I read this book before another book which is about the same topic, except from different perspectives. This book doesn't describe the actually history as much as the other book called Night on Fire by Ronald Kidd.
I read this book but I do not know which I think is best not liking it or liking it! Some parts were good some parts were a little boring. But as I say those words I do not mean anything to the anthers at all! It is just that I like different kind of books sometimes.
Melody: a girl from the south a girl with an amazing voice... but when a tragedy strikes she is left silent. Will she have the strength to open her voice?
