Mia believes she may be crazy, but when she is forced to reveal her secret, she learns that she has synesthesia. Her diagnosis begins her journey of self-discovery, and she must learn the hard way that she cannot isolate herself from the people around her. ketrny | Feb 18, 2009 | Mia has a secret--she sees colors associated with different letters, numbers, and sounds. When she was in third grade, she got made fun of for this, and now, in eighth grade, she is used to not talking about it. But her life is changing--once she finds out there are other people like her, she has a hard time relating to her friends and family, and can't quite figure out her place in the world. Mia tries to find her way back to her self by reconnecting with the important things in her life, but you don't know how important some things are until you lose them.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316058254, Paperback)Mia Winchell seems to be a typical teenager, but shes keeping a huge secret from everyone who knows her: sounds, numbers, and words appear in color for her. Mia has synesthesia, the mingling of perceptions whereby a person can see sounds, smell colors, or taste shapes. When trouble in school forces Mia to reveal her condition, her friends and family cant relate to her, and she must look to herself to develop an understanding and appreciation for her gift. Spiced with wit and humor, A Mango-Shaped Space is a poignant coming-of-age novel that will intrigue readers long after theyve turned the last page. Praised by reviewers and award-winning authors alike, A Mango-Shaped Space has brought renewed attention to the fascinating world of synesthesia, which includes famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Serge Rachmaninoff.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:11 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
