I welcome her first book and am certain young readers will, too.” “From the moment I read a story by Wendy Mass I knew she was a writer to watch. She has to lose something very special in order to find herself.
By the time she realizes she has isolated herself from all the people who care about her, it is almost too late. Her family and friends have trouble relating to her as she embarks on an intense journey of self-discovery. When trouble in school finally convinces Mia to reveal her secret, she feels like a freak. She is keeping something from everyone who knows her: the fact that sounds, numbers, and letters have color for her.

Thirteen-year-old Mia Winchell appears to be the most normal kid in her family.
