A Mango Shaped Space

A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass is about a thirteen year old girl, Mia, she seems like she could the most normal out of her brother Zach, who counts how many McDonald's hamburgers he's eaten, and her sister Beth who is dieing her hair every time she changes her mood, but no doubt, Mia is the weirdest.

I think Mia is the most different from her brother and sister because when she hears a sound, a letter, a color goes along with it. when nobody knows what her problem is, her parents send her to lots of different doctors until they finally find a doctor that knows what's wrong. She figures out that her problem has a name, synthesia. She meets other people who have this problem and figures out that different people there are different colors or pictures that go along with the name or the sound. I like this book because I think it explains that other people can feel different ways, and how people with an illness can feel.

I think what led me to A Mango Shaped Space was probably Wendy Mass. I read Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life also by Wendy Mass and I thought it was fantastic! I'm almost done with A Mango Shaped Space because my head was buried in that book, and I think my head is going to be buried in another book by Wendy Mass. And I think you should read it.
