Normal: of, relating to, or characterized by average intelligence or development
Mia seems to be completely her normal—her brother (who documents every hamburger he eats) and her sister (with a new shade of hair every week) are the crazies. Mia is smart, average looking, and a wee bit superstitious—your normal, run-of-the-mill teenage girl.
But in reality, Mia is anything but ordinary. She has a secret—a secret about how she perceives her world. Colors…everything has color—sounds, numbers and letters. And after a humiliating experience in 3rd gradel, she has never told anyone—not her parents or even her best friend, Jenna.
Unfortunately, her big secret is isolating everyone who cares about her and, by the time she realizes it, it’s almost too late. Everything is about to change…and Mia has no choice—she is not normal.
