Which title is described as focusing on the power of words for a child who can't speak, including a statement about words?

• A. New From Here by Kelly Yang
• B. Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper
• C. Wonder
• D. The Chronicles of Narnia

Answer: (B)

The focus here is on how language and voice shape a young person’s life, especially when they cannot speak in the usual way. Out of My Mind follows Melody, a girl with cerebral palsy who can’t speak and uses a communication device to express herself. The story centers on how words—what she can say, what others say about her, and how she’s heard (or not heard)—shape her sense of self and her opportunities. It shows both the power of words to empower someone and the impact of misunderstandings or prejudice, making a voice and expression the heart of the narrative. The other titles touch important themes but not this specific focus. New From Here deals with immigration and family, Wonder centers on acceptance of appearances and social dynamics, and The Chronicles of Narnia is a fantasy adventure with broader themes.
