Summary: Tangerine
Review: This book was written by A man named Edward Bloor. It was very well written because the beginning sucked me right in. I could relate to what he was going through, because it was non-fiction. It was in tennesee and then the main character(Paul) and his family moved to Florida. The main characters were pretty much him and his family, plus arthur, his brothers friends, and a couple of Pauls friends like Vince. His family consisted of Paul his mom, dad, and his brother.The plot of the story was this. Paul moves to a town in florida but he is forced to go to his town neighbors school for a while because of an accident at his shool. He has to get used to his new neighbors and surrounding while there, and possibly a thief. I liked this book and could definitely read it again.

Summary: Regarding Truth and False Perceptions
Review: "The truth shall set you free"...
That quote is at the center of this magnificent novel by Edward Bloor. The book tells the mysterious story of Paul Fisher, a teenaged soccer player who moves with his family to Tangerine, Florida so that his football-star brother, Erik, can receive more press attention. To everyone except Paul, Erik is the wonderboy of the family; the one who can do no wrong. Paul is the only one who sees what his brother really is- a monster. As the story progresses, more and more details are revealed. What is the real reason Paul is legally blind and is forced to wear thick glasses? What really happened to a local hero that would make him drop dead? The answers to these and many other questions are found within the pages of "Tangerine", a book that will make you laugh, cry, and above all, think.

Summary: A Life Lesson
Review: In every book I read, I always look for some kind of deep meaning in the context. If a book is too shallow, then it does not quallify as a good book. This book is a literal eye opener to the cruelties that go on. There are too many neglected kids in this world who's parents sometimes don't see the pain behind the mask that their kids put on day after day. I highly recomend this to parents of teenagers, because their kids are drifting farther and farther away and this book can help them realize that. That's one of the reasons that Tangerine hit home for me. Me and my half sister don't get a long at all and I know secrets about her that would blow my parents minds if they knew. This book will help open parents minds to the cruelties going on between syblings, and so parents need to be aware of that. I know that when I become a parent, then I will not be totally in the dark about these things. Because of my own experiences, and this book. This is the most meaningful book that I have ever read. For the readers information, I'm not a shrink, I'm just a kid who WANTS their parents to ask a little more questions about why things are going on in their kids lives. And trust me, just because we walk away from our parents, doesn't mean that we don't want to be chased.

Summary: Wow, Tangerine is cool
Review: Paul Fisher and his family have just moved to a strange town in Florida called Tangerine. Nothing in Tangerine is like it should be. There are fires underground that are constantly burning, lighting strikes in the same place everyday, and there are sinkholes that swallow a middle school completely.
Paul is legally blind. Because of this, he wears large, thick-rimmed glasses. His parents have told him many times why his eyes have gotten like this, but for some reason he just can't remember this ever happening. He knows he needs to find out for himself; it may just be the clue he needs to figure out the strange things happening around him. I thought this book was very exciting. If you like realistic thrillers then this is the book for you.

Summary: A corking good story plus a concern for our environment
Review: An absolutely wonderful book that reads well aloud. Hopefully young readers and their parents will also look about them and ask as the book's protagonist does--why is our air almost unbreathable? why is our rain acid? where have all the trees gone? Bloor is the young adult's Hiassen.

Summary: LOVED IT
Review: Tangerine has always been one of my favorite books. It also brings out something in me that makes me want to really hurt Paul's brother Erik! I like it because even though I am athletic, it shows that you don't have to be athletic to be a star, a hero, and a better person. It also shows that you can be blind to someones true character because of what their talents are, or what they look like. I Loved it I would strongly reccomend it.
