(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Basil, who has synesthesia (he associates numbers with colors), learns that the new girl, Tenzie, has the same "freakism" as he does. He's lived happily with hippie-artist Gram ever since his mother left when he was five, and when she reappears for a surprise visit, life gets complicated. Character development is uneven, but Basil and Tenzie's realistic friendship adds interest.
