Wendy Mass is a popular author who has written many good books.  One of my favorite books of hers is A Mango-Shaped Space.  The main character, Mia,  has a condition called synesthesia.  Whenever Mia hears a certain noise, such as a hammer banging, colors flash in front of her.  She has lived her whole life dealing with her sysnethesia, and she hasn’t told anyone about it.  When she finally told her parents about her condition, everything changes.   Throughout the story, Mia develops an understanding and appreciation of her gift.  I don’t want to give away the ending so you will just have to read to find out!   I would reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys realistic fiction.
