Summary: Tangerine
Review: Tangerine

Twelve-year-old Paul, who lives in the shadow of his football hero brother Erik, fights for the right to play soccer despite his near blindness and slowly begins to remember the incident that damaged his eyesight. He wears glasses so thick he looks like a bug-eyed alien, and kids tell a story about how he blinded himself by staring at an eclipse of the sun. But Paul doesn't remember doing that. And he doesn't mind the glasses, because with them he can see. He can see that his parents' constant praise of his brother, Erik, the football star, is to cover up something that is terribly wrong. But no one listens to Paul... That is until his family moves to Tangerine. Tangerine is like another planet, where weird is normal. Lightning strikes at the same time every day. Underground fires burn for years. A sinkhole swallows a local school. And Paul the geek finds himself adopted into the toughest group around--the soccer team of his middle school. Suddenly the blind can see, geeks can be cool, and--maybe--a twelve-year-old kid can finally face up to his terrifying older brother. In Tangerine anything is possible.

Summary: What a terrific book
Review: This book is great! I enjoyed the characters and the plots and the ending. I won't give it away, but I will say that the ending surprised me and was EXCELLENT. I thought it was very exciting and interesting and I think that I read it in a day because I couldn't put it down.
The only thing I would say is that the summary on the cover made me think that the book had a touch of supernatural in it, but as I read on, there wasn't anything like that. I'm kind of a fan of supernatural books, so I was kind of dissapointed. After all, that was one of the reasons I picked the book up.
Final comments- I really enjoyed this book. If you like books about sports with a little touch of mystery, this is a book for you.

Summary: Tangerine
Review: Tangerine, written by Edward Bloor, is a good book for middle and high school students to read. It is about a boy, Paul Fisher, who moved to Tangerine County in Florida where countless strange occurrences happen to him. Paul wonders why people live in this town where underground fires burn for years, a sinkhole swallows part of his school, and lightning strikes the same football field everyday around 4:00 PM. Paul does not understand why he has to wear thick glasses all the time because of a mysterious eye injury. Surprisingly, Paul fits in with the toughest group in school, which turns out to be his soccer team. Something that bothers Paul is that no one can see the terrifying truth about his older brother, Erik. Despite Paul's handicap, he still manages to save citrus trees, stop a crime, and win the soccer championship for his team.

Review: Tangerine was definitely a different kind of book. Paul Fisher has weird nightmares dating from his childhood that are brought on by different experiences in a town that he just moved into. These experiences relate to the damage done to Paul's eyes when he was younger. Paul's parents told him that a solar ecclipse damaged his eyes but Paul thinks there is a dark secret that they're hiding from him. Because of the damage Paul has to wear extra thick glasses all the time. Paul isn't allowed to play soccer for the Lake Windsor High Team since he is legally blind. Paul decides to transfer to Tangerine Middle School in order to be able to play soccer. Tangerine was a very good book to read because it had a well thought out story line and enough twists and turns to make you keep reading.
