This week I read A Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass. This was a book about a 13 year old girl that sees colors when she hears sound. She thinks that this is normal, and when she realizes it isn't, and tells somebody, they make fun of her and don't believe her. For the next five years, until the book takes place, she doesn't tell anybody. Everyone slowly forgets the first time she told them, and blames it on her imagination. The main plotline of the book is about what happens when she finally tells somebody her secret, but there are lots of alternate stories weaved into it. It is about her everyday life, but is actually quite fast- paced and interesting. It is not too hard to read at all. I'm not sure what genre I would call it; it's kind of a mix of a couple. One thing it definitely is not is sci-fi or adventure, so I was surprised that I liked it. I would recommend this book to almost anybody. Even though the main character is a girl, boys should like it too. Overall, this book was awesome!!!
Next weeks book: Mila 2.0
