| | Synopsis
|
Mia, 13, has always seen colors in sounds, numbers, and letters, a
fact she has kept secret since the day she discovered that other
people don't have this ability. Then she discovers that she has a rare
condition called synesthesia, which means that the visual cortex in
her brain is activated when she hears something. From then on, she
leads a kind of double life-she eagerly attends research gatherings
with other synesthetes and devours information about the condition,
but continues to struggle at school, where her inadvertent pairing of
particular colors with numbers and words makes math and French almost
impossible to figure out. Her gradual abandonment of her frustrating
school life in favor of the compelling world of fellow synesthetes and
the unique things only they can experience seems quite logical,
although readers may feel like shaking some sense into her. Finally,
and rather abruptly, her extreme guilt at her beloved cat Mango's
illness brings her back down to earth and she begins to work on some
of the relationships she let crumble.
