Books like A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass


A Mango-Shaped Space is a beautifully written, realistic fiction novel about a girl named Mia who has synesthesia, a neurological disorder, which cause your five senses to be all jumbled up. For example, Mia can see numbers, letters, and sounds as their own colors right before her eyes. Mia has problems regarding her synesthesia at her new school, until she finds some other people just like her. Some synesthetes can also taste certain flavors when they hear certain sounds, or hear certain sounds based on the certain textures they feel. This book is one of my favorites, filled with eye-opening details, sad descriptors, and humorous actions. It is a wonderful portrayal of this disorder.
