阅读推荐：A Mango-Shaped Space《芒果猫》

(英文）Apple 风铃童书 2022-12-23

Mia Winchell appears to be your typical 8th grader, but is actually far from the ordinary. For her, sounds, numbers, and words all come in different shades of colors. For Mia’s whole life she had successfully kept everything a secret, but with the pressure of middle school pushing down on her, Mia has to reveal her secret. With the reveal of this secret everything goes upside down and Mia is not sure if she can accept herself anymore. This book teaches us to appreciate who we truly are. Although not all of us are like Mia who have a secret ability, for all of us, we are like Mia in many ways. For everyone there is a secret that they could never tell someone. Aside from the important life lessons this book teaches, it is also a funny page-turner that demands to be read.

大家都希望自己是与众不同的，但很多時候，Mia只希望能和大家一樣……

　　13岁的女孩Mia，能从每种数字、声音、字母，看到缤纷的色彩：A是褪色的向日葵色；2是棉花糖般的粉红色；电话铃声是红色的漩涡；她的猫咪“芒果”的呼噜声，是一个个芒果色的圈……

这样的特点，不仅让她觉得很孤单，还为她带来了一连串的麻烦，但有一天，这种“特异功能”消失了，Mia竟然有一种莫名的失落。

渴望融入同龄人中，因而害怕和別人不一样，是青少年成长过程中的令他们焦虑的事情之一。作者通过这位能从数字、声音、字母中看到各种颜色的女孩，将青少年渴望被同龄人认同又企盼与众不同的心理刻画得淋漓尽致。
