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?

This book tells you to be strong in hard times!

There are a lot of American Girl books this year. This wasn't as interesting as Lea but it was also fairly good. If you like American Girl, this book is for you!!

I really liked reading this book! I loved the character Melody! I loved reading about all the adventures Melody goes on! I also liked reading about how Melody overcame her problems!

I really loved reading No Ordinary Sound! It was so much fun to read! I really like Melody in this book! She reminded me of myself! I really enjoyed reading this book!

It's not as good as other American Girl Doll books. 2/5. I don't like it that much. Maybe you would. I have 3 American Girl Dolls at home, but 2 books. I won't pressure you not to get it. You can, but I don't know if you'll like it!

So interesting and good. I have a American girl doll at home and I definitely think that this book is appealing to most people who like American girl dolls.

This book is not as good as the other American girl books. In fact, I did not like this at all. I would rate this book 1 star out of 5 stars.
