A MANGO SHAPED SPACE+ SOUND PICTURE SORT OF...

            This was a rrrrreeeeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy good book. It is about a girl named Mia, who has  synesthesia. It is were, when you hear a word, or see a letter, or a number, or a sound, you see colors. They can have texture and can bee in shapes too. But se doesn't know that she has it. She just thinks that she is crazy. She has never told anyone about it. Except maybe her cat mango. When mango purrs, or wheezes, it is always some shade of yellow-orange.
       So, she tells her parents, and they bring her to all sorts of doctors. Finally one of them recognizes what she has as synesthesia. He tells her all about it. She goes on a web-site for people who have it. On it she meets Adam. He has it too. Then she is offered to go to a meeting for people who have synesthesia. She goes to the first part, at meets Adam, and kisses him.
      Then the unthinkable happens. Mango dies. Mia is devastated. Her colors disappear. The world looks bland and colorless. She won't even talk to her best friend Jenny. 
       Finally she realizes that Mango would have wanted her to be happy. Plus, she realizes that Adam is kind of a jerk. So she starts hanging out with Richard. They are a perfect match...
      He is color blind. ;)
It was really good.
Also, i attempted to draw some of my favorite sounds.... i don't know if it worked out that well...
