Jennifer G The Trouble with Jenny's Ear. One of my favorite books of all time!!! Although, the way I remember it, she gets konked on the head or something, and begins hearing what everyone is thinking, and the climax (end) of the book is a big spelling bee where she is listening to how to spell the words from judges (and others, *cough*).

Erin A newer book exploring a similar theme is Bee Season. It kind of gets into jewish mysticism at some point though. Weird.
