I read a book called A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass. The book is about a girl named Mia who sees colors in her head. She has something called synthesia. Many people have it but its always different for everyone. Some people have it when they smell and some when they taste. Its called a mango shape space because she has a cat named mango that means everything to her the rest  I can’t tell because it spoils it. Mia goes in a group with a bunch of people with the same thing  as her and one girl said that she did acupuncture and she saw the colors in different ways. The colors were more like clouds of colors.

Throughout the book, Mia tells you about how she gets through school and how her friends understand the colors. Mia thought everyone saw colors until one day in third grade the teacher asked her to write down her thinking on the board. She thought it would be correct to write them in their color. The teacher thought it was ridiculous and when she said she saw colors she thought she was trying to be funny and sent her to the principal. The principal called her parents and mia didn’t know what to say so  she said it was a joke.

Her cat Mango is everything to her because when her grandpa died she saw him and he had the same eyes as her grandpa. I think Mango reminds her of her grandpa. In the book she said that she had a good relationship with her grandpa so mango makes her feel like a part of grandpa lives in Mango.

I highly recommend this book a lot it is one of those books that you can read as many times as you want and is as good when you read it the first time. If i give this book a rating it would be a ***** star rating. I don’t think just one type of person i think everyone would love it.
