When 13-year-old Mia finally reveals a closely-guarded secret, it soon echoes throughout her school. She was born with synesthesia, a neurological cross-wiring that lets her see sounds, taste shapes, and smell colors. To Mia, the letter A glows with faded sunflower-yellow, screeching chalk sizzles with jagged red sparks, and her cat's voice puffs with orange-mango haze. How can Mia "the alien" find acceptance and self-worth?

A VOYA Top-Shelf selection, Wendy Mass' poignant yet funny coming-of-age novel also received the ALA's Schneider Family Book Award.

Critic reviews

"Mia's voice is believable and her description of the vivid world she experiences, filled with slashes, blurs, and streaks of color, is fascinating....[Her] unique way of experiencing the world is intriguing." ( School Library Journal)

This isn't the type of book I would usually pick up but my boyfriend suggested it and I'm glad he did! It ended up being of my favorites! I cried a lot but I really liked the way the book talked about grief and portrayed what it's like to be a kid. It made me remember what it was like to be a kid again. I especially enjoyed reading about the main characters unique perspective. I would definitely recommend this book for kids and adults alike.

Favorite book i read this year!
