Description
Thirteen-year-old Mia Winchell has spent years hiding a remarkable secret: she experiences synesthesia, a rare neurological condition that allows her to see sounds, smell colors, and taste shapes. When circumstances force her to reveal her hidden gift to the world, Mia struggles with feelings of isolation and alienation, convinced that her unique perception makes her a freak. As she embarks on an intense journey of self-discovery, she must navigate the painful distance growing between herself and the people who care about her most. In this poignant coming-of-age novel, Mia learns that true acceptance begins with understanding herself, and that sometimes we must lose something precious to fully appreciate the extraordinary gifts we possess. A powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and the courage it takes to embrace what makes us different.
