First sentence: I walked to the podium, tall and confident.

Premise/plot: Melody returns in her third novel. In this one, Melody--who speaks through Elvira (a Medi-talker)--saves the life of a neighbor who falls. No one else witnessed her collapse nor witnesses her lack of movement, her failing to get back up again. Melody is persistent despite the 911 workers thinking her call is a prank. As a reward, Melody ends up heading to London with some new friends. 

Most of this one is experiencing a series of new firsts--all travel-related, mainly. Melody is traveling places, making new friends, learning to interact in the wider world without the aide of a parent. Melody as tourist would sum this one up. 

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one more than the second book. I enjoyed her London trip. I'm not sure either the second or third book are as amazing as the first book. But I am glad I read this one. No regrets continuing on with this one.
