"Synesthesia "

"Though this is for junior readers, it explores an interesting condition called synesthesia. It also has lively characters, and heartful moments. Its a great reminder too to pause and remember what 13 year olds are going through."

Kathleen Jerome

"One of the best books I've read in a long time. It doesn't matter how old you are or your reading preferences, it makes you stop and think. I was made better for reading it. "
