i'd been waiting for this book on paperbackswap for awhile, so i was thrilled when it showed up last friday and i was able to immediately devour it. it was as good as i had hoped. synesthesia is a neurological disorder in which two senses are linked, and it often expresses itself through a person's letters and numbers having colors. wendy mass puts this neatly and masterfully into an engaging YA novel about a girl, her synesthesia-induced school troubles, her cat mango, and the trials of friendship and growing up.
