When Melody’s reclusive neighbor has a medical issue right in front of her, Melody figures out how to communicate with 911 and get her the help she needs. And it turns out this person is actually pretty important - a former movie star! After a TV appearance with her new friend, Melody is gifted with a trip -- to LONDON! Nervous and excited, Melody prepares for her first plane trip - new sites, new friends, and new challenges await.
The story of Melody’s trip and her challenges in light of her own personal challenges are very interesting to view. I love her new friends who love and care for her as she is. The last part of the book about the special gathering of teen inventors and thinkers feels less than the rest of the book - kind of shoehorned in. And right before that scene, is another scene meeting some famous people that is not addressed again and I must admit, that was the story I was really waiting for. Regardless of my personal hang-ups, I still enjoyed watching Melody succeed.
