hirteen-year-old Mia Winchell appears to be a typical eighth grader. But Mia is keeping a 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. A Mango-Shaped Space is a poignant, coming-of-age novel spiced with wit and humor that chronicles Mia's developing appreciation of her gift and the part it plays in her life.

this is the best book i ever read its sad and silly and i felt like i was in the book.

It was really good, until the cat died. It was unnecessary and shows a sign of a lazy writer when the only element of drama they can create is of a pet dying. P.S I love cats so I cried.

This book really expresses feelings!!! Its like you're actually there!!! I loved this book. You'll experience awe, sadness and much more.

Five star baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read it it's my fave. But WARNING it can really make u cry.

One of my all time favorite books. She learns to love who she is and embraces her special gift. This is one of those books that you should read before you die, because she goes through so many things but stays strong. And I did cry at one point in the book... just saying.

This book is heartfelt and purely amazing. Wendy Mass uses her ingenious writing skills to express the sadness yet amazingness of having a "disability." This is an exceptional book and everyone should strongly think about reading it.
