A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass

Characters: Mia, Zach, Beth, and parents Winchell. Jenna, Roger, and Adam her friends.

This book is about a young girl who has a special gift. She can see colors when she looks at numbers, hears music, looks at people. The story is told in such a way that you are able to watch the secret unfold and work through the changes with Mia. She changes with the support of her family, her friends, and eventually a group of people that also have synesthesia. Mango is her cat that she has a special bond with thanks to her grandpa. He wheezes and with every wheeze she sees the mango colored whisps of colors. I really enjoyed the imagery and the story telling of this book. Highly recommended!
