A Mango-Shaped Space
By: Wendy Mass
ISBN: 0-316-05825-4
SPOILER ALERT
A Colorful Life
Imagine your life with colors for every letter, name, and sound you hear or see. Imagine you can't tell anyone about it because you are the only one who sees it. That has become normal to Mia, an 8th grader whose life has been turned upside down by color. It's everywhere, in music, her cat, and in everything else. Mia has had her `colors' since she can remember. She tried to tell her classmates and parents in 3rd grade, but no one would believe her. She then knew that she was the only one. That this had to be her secret. She will have to lose something so close to her to find herself. This realistic fiction novel soared to the top of my list. It made seeing colors seem normal.
A Mango-Shaped Space became my favorite book because I could relate to the character, Mia, and connect to one of the events. I could relate to Mia so well because I remember being just like her in third grade. I was always doing something different than everyone else when it came to school. I could also relate to her in the book when her cat, Mango, dies. My cat, Hansel, ran away last year and I remember that he was on medication for a bad infection. I wouldn't eat or sleep or go anywhere for a while. Finally I got over it and that was the same morning my mom found him. I had been worried like Mia was when Mango went missing.
Another reason why I love this book is Wendy Mass's writing style. It kept me interested and turning pages. I wanted to find out what happened, but I also wanted it to last forever.
I would recommend this book to anyone who judges a book by its cover. When I unwrapped this book for Christmas, I remember thinking, this isn't going to be a very good book, but I was so wrong. This shows how good books can be even if the title is a little strange. I would also recommend this book for people who can pick up hidden meanings.
I hope that Wendy Mass writes another book because I will be so ready to read another book like this.
