When Melody saves an elderly back-in-the-day actress's life, she ends up on their local TV channel. The studio is so impressed with Melody that they arrange for her to be a speaker at an international symposium for kids who are differently abled, and this year's symposium is in London! To Melody's utter shock and delight, her parents say yes. Yes!
Melody finally gets to fly on an airplane, and many adventures in London await, including a cheeky interaction with a royal guard's horse, becoming a little too acquainted with old-timey armor, and a run in with one of the most popular pop stars on the planet! But the biggest adventure is the I.D.E.A. symposium.
There, Melody meets kids from all over the world who are rallying for greater accessibility and more thoughtful planning on how to make the world more equal for every kid, no matter the challenges they face. But as Melody's time to speak approaches, big-time nerves set in: how can a girl who's never spoken a word out loud in her life give an entire speech?

Narrator Sisi Aisha Johnson creates a determined voice for seventh-grader Melody, who has cerebral palsy and uses a device to communicate with others. When her neighbor, Miss Gertie, has a fall, Melody jumps in to save the day by calling 9-1-1 on her device. Following the incident, Melody is invited to speak at a symposium in England and travels there with her newfound friend, Miss Gertie. Johnson excels at expressing Melody's mixed emotions as she faces challenges in the initial emergency and then later in her travels. Listeners and fans of the first two novels in this series will cheer for Melody once again as she shares her story and ideas with the world. M.D. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
