Whatever happens, don’t tell anyone what you did to Bee Larkham…
Jasper is not ordinary. In fact, he would say he is extraordinary…
Synaesthesia paints the sounds of his world in a kaleidoscope of colors that no one else can see. But on Friday, he discovered a new color – the color of murder.
He’s sure something has happened to his neighbour, Bee Larkham, but no-one else seems to be taking it as seriously as they should be. The knife and the screams are all mixed up in his head and he’s scared that he can’t quite remember anything clearly.
But where is Bee? Why hasn’t she come home yet? Jasper must uncover the truth about that night – including his own role in what happened…
Yes the storytelling is great.
Yes the mystery story is OK.
Yes it is well and beautiful written.BUT: The main character Jasper annoys me! And then there’s also parakeets… (just read the book and you’ll understand).
You either love him or hate him and to me it’s the latter. Yes I understand he translates things and occasions into colors and then the parakeets…
Try it out: there’s a fast majority out there which adores this book, you might like it. Don’t trust me on my blue eyes.
