Wendy Mass

a very well done book. Mia has a secret - that things like letters, numbers and even sounds have a color. and these colors pop before her eyes with each sound. But she can't tell anyone. She told a teacher, some kids and her parents in 3rd grade - and no one believed her.

but it's getting harder to cope. Math is just too difficult when the colors distract her from completing the lessons or tests. It's time for her to get help, but who will help her?

although this book is for the younger YA, I really enjoyed how much information it gave about the condition. I also like that Mia isn't perfect. She messes up, gets a little absorbed in herself and she discovers her gift and she disappoints some people. But like her dad, said, that's part of being human. Part of it all.

and Mango, I love that cat ;)… (more)
