Ms. Guiney's Review:
Title: Tangerine
Author: Edward Bloor
Grade: A
Ideal readers: boys age 11 and up
Summary:
This is a must read that often gets forgotten with all the new titles popping up out there. I do not want Tangerine to get lost in the shuffle, so if you have not read this title yet, please borrow from my shelves! This is a title that can appeal to all of you. It has sports, family drama, sibling rivalry, and crazy occurrences like: fires burning underground, lightning striking the same spot daily, and sinkholes swallowing schools! What more can you want? Paul Fisher is the main character of this book and he is a likable self-proclaimed "geek," but he comes to realize he's really not so geeky after moving to Tangerine, Florida. Here he finds new friends, solves a local mystery, and discovers the truth behind an incident that left him nearly blind. It is written from Paul's perspective and in the style of a journal, which makes Paul's trials and triumphs even more personal. I definitely recommend that you read Tangerine this year!
