I loved this book for its wonderful word choice and also for the tragic plot.

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.

I love this book but it gts boring at times.
his book is okay because it is very sorrowful and deep, not what I was expecting. Hopefully this book will get better throughout!
It was a pretty good book! I love Wendy Mass. Although this isn't my favorite, it was really good but sad :(. This is a good book for people who like realistic fiction and people who don't mind sad books. If you've survived the Hunger Games, you'll survive through this.
Mia sees things in a different way. Sound and numbers have colors that go with them. Mia finds out that she has a condition called synesthesia. But learning this turns Mia's whole life around.
Like so many of her books, Wendy Mass makes you think. Mia has synesthesia, a condition where letters, numbers and sounds have colors. After keeping this secret for years she must come clean or fail at algebra. In this amazing book, Mia learns what life is all about.
