objective pronoun

Hi!
I was doing some exercises and I met some problems that really annoys me.
"Melissa took my sister and me to the school."
This sentence sounds perfectly alright for me, but the exercise book states that instead of using "me", "I" should be used so the correct one will be "Melissa took my sister and I to the school". Is "me" an objective pronoun? If yes, why do we use "I" here instead of "me"?

Thanks!

Welcome to the Forums! You are correct to use me in this case. The commonly accepted test for the proper form is to remove the other part: in this case, 'my sister'.

Your exercise book is wrong!

Melissa took me to school. (Right.)
Melissa took I to school. (Wrong!)
