Relation Supposing Books Tangerine
Paul Fisher sees the world from behind glasses so thick he looks like a bug-eyed alien. But he’s not so blind that he can’t see there are some very unusual things about his family’s new home in Tangerine County, Florida. Where else does a sinkhole swallow the local school, fire burn underground for years, and lightning strike at the same time every day? The chaos is compounded by constant harassment from his football–star brother, and adjusting to life in Tangerine isn’t easy for Paul—until he joins the soccer team at his middle school. With the help of his new teammates, Paul begins to discover what lies beneath the surface of his strange new hometown. And he also gains the courage to face up to some secrets his family has been keeping from him for far too long. In Tangerine, it seems, anything is possible.Identify Books As Tangerine

As I figured out which shelves to put this on, I was realizing that Bloor really tried to pack a lot of issues into a relatively short book and he did an excellent job of it. There's the racism/classism stuff and environmentalism (or lack thereof) and disabilities and how they are dealt with in the school system and lots of inequity that isn't related to race or class and farming and safe driving and sports and bulleying and and and.The story is compelling. The characters are beyond believable3.5 stars -- My book group was scheduled to read Frankenstein, but when I got out the copies they had such a negative reaction that I finally asked them to pick another title from our collection of summer reading books. For what it's worth, they chose this YA novel about a young soccer player with damaged eyesight. _(ツ)_/ TANGERINE isn't a bad book at all. It's well written, and there's a little bit of everything for everyone: Holes-style quirkiness, sports action, humor, plot twists, and
I think the story was funny and sad but cool because Paul played soccer and he thought he was the best goaley in the world. And then Paul moves to a new town call tangerine he meets a new friend Joey and they both play soccer and tangerine middle school. Then a sink hole comes and destroys the school and Paul goes to a new school tangerine middle then he meets new friends and then at the end they Paul's bother and his friend goes to jail for killing pauls friends brother.
This bbokk is very good because it talk about how people are treated with disabilities....
Warning this review has spoiler. So in the part 3 Paul goes and jump at a couch right and the get called to the principal. They got a X-ray right then he get xspelled. Erik goes to jail yeah to jail
THIS BOOK WAS SO BAD I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN IT. IT WAS THE WORST BOOK I'VE EVER READ. IT IS SO BORING AND DRY. I WILL NEVER READ AN EDWARD BLOOR BOOK AGAIN. I THINK THIS BOOK ACTUALLY MADE ME THROW UP AND I STARTED BLEEDING OUT OF MY NOSE.
I liked this book for quite a few reasons. The characters were really good and they developed quite a bit since the start of the book, especially Tino. There was also a nice plot, keeping me engaged in. It was a big slow towards the first few pages but the last 150 pages were quite interesting and picked up very well. But still, there wasn't enough in this book to get it a four star. Needless to say, this was a good book and I'm glad I picked it up.
