Like Meg we all go through different journeys along the way as we grow. In the story Wrinkle in time is was story of good and bad but you got to see how the main character from thinking she was a monster no one like because her actions. Then how things can change with situations and open your eyes through trials. I think this is why teens can relate to the story because they can relate to Meg and how she was in the story. Teenagers we all go through awkward stages and changes but what is important is we learn and become better people from those experiences. I believe Meg did this.

    In A Mango Shaped Space, the main protagonist is Mia Winchell, a 16 year old girl living with synesthesia, a neurological phenomenon in which your senses are jumbled together and words, numbers and sounds have different colors shapes and textures. This can sometimes cause OCD behaviors, for example in Mia's case she can’t write a word or number unless it’s in the color she associates with that symbol. This obviously causes problems for her not only in school, but with her friends and her family. I think this book would be a good addition to the curriculum because it teaches how to cope with adversity, which is something that everyone will have to deal with at some point in their life. The book starts out with a flashback of Mia in third…
