"An extremely thought-provoking book.
7th-grader Lucy has just moved to a small town with her parents. The only thing she knows about the town so far is that a shooter killed over twenty people in the elementary school, four years ago. On the first day" Read more of this review » |

"This story was just what my soul needed right now! Even though I cried through a large percentage of the book, this was so healing. Rosie has synesthesia: she hears sounds and sees colors. She's also a very gifted violin player who has been pushed by"

“Grandpa puts an arm around my shoulders gingerly. "Some things are too painful to share. Some memories are best left alone until we're able to tell them as the hard part of a much longer, much more beautiful story.”

“Mom shakes her head, and suddenly I hear it. She isn't just red. She never has been. This whole time, I've heard the wrong notes. My mother has all this blue just beneath the surface. She's been purple all along. Anger plus sadness is purple.
Purple is vivid and real and layered. Purple is what you are when you can sing two notes at once, when you hear harmony with every melody before you even learn the notes. Purple is what I've seen in Shanna's eyes sometimes. You sound purple if you've ever cried your eyes out at night. You're purple if you love someone who can't love you back the way you want to be loved--the way you need it.”

“Thought that is silenced is always rebellious. Majorities, of course, are often mistaken. This is why the silencing of minorities is necessarily dangerous. Criticism and dissent are the indispensable antidote to major delusions.”
