Melody Ellison: Back Cover Blurb



Melody's themes as listed in the rumored debut giveaway doll-sized tee pictured above (found on Ebay) are "Freedom, Community, Family and Peace." As today's news about BeForever 2016 keep rolling in on various social media sites, these themes are now taking specific shape in the details of Melody's story.

The back cover description from Melody Ellison's first book No Ordinary Sound:

Meet Melody Ellison... 
Melody can't wait to sing her first solo at church! What song will she choose? She gets advice from her big brother, who has his sights on becoming a Motown star, and she gets inspiration from the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Melody's also inspired by her older sister, who's home from college with new ideas about making things fair.What isn't fair in their cousin's struggle to buy a house. Melody learns that they're not welcome in certain neighborhoods because they're black. Just as Melody's ready to sing, an unimaginable tragedy leaves her silent. Can she find her voice when it really matters? 
No Ordinary Sound, the first volume of Melody's stories about growing up in the 1960s, shows how people can come together to create social change.

Now we just need a debut date! Can we hope for February?

  1. With all this info coming out right now, it would make the most sense if she were being released in January-February. In February, AG comes out with all their Beforever LE sets, and so if she were to be released then, it would make better sense then January 1st.
