De: Wendy Mass

Narrado por: Danielle Ferland

An award-winning book from the New York Times bestselling author of Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life and The Candymakers for fans of Wonder and Counting by Sevens

Mia Winchell appears to be a typical kid, but she's keeping a big secret—sounds, numbers, and words have color for her. No one knows, and Mia wants to keep it that way. But when trouble at school finally forced Mia to reveal her secret, she must learn to accept herself and embrace her ability, called synesthesia, the mingling of perceptions whereby a person can see sounds, smell colors, or taste shapes.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Mia's voice is believable and her description of the vivid world she experiences, filled with slashes, blurs, and streaks of color, is fascinating....[Her] unique way of experiencing the world is intriguing." (School Library Journal)

synesthesia

I have synesthesia too and I found myself relating to a lot of it. a really great reason overall.

Favorite book i read this year!

This isn't the type of book I would usually pick up but my boyfriend suggested it and I'm glad he did! It ended up being of my favorites! I cried a lot but I really liked the way the book talked about grief and portrayed what it's like to be a kid. It made me remember what it was like to be a kid again. I especially enjoyed reading about the main characters unique perspective. I would definitely recommend this book for kids and adults alike.

Colourful

Being in education and having a personal connection to synethesia, this books helps others to understand and accept another person's challenge and capabilities.
