Tastes Like Music: 17 Quirks of the Brain and Body

Designed for young inquisitive minds between the ages of 8-12, this book takes readers on a tour of zany and extraordinary quirks of the human body and brain. Writing with an approachable and playful tone, the author explores 17 unique human conditions, including: having no fingerprints at all (adermatoglyphia), being able to see one hundred million colors (tetrachromacy), and—as the title suggests—experiencing sensory fusion between taste, color, sound, and smell (synesthesia). Young readers and adults alike will delight in the mini science lessons, interviews, and vivacious colorful illustrations that fill the pages.
