Product Description

Review
"Smart, adaptable, and anchored by a strong sense of self-worth, Paul makes a memorable protagonist . . . multiple yet taut plotlines lead to a series of gripping climaxes and revelations."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"A richly imagined read about an underdog coming into his own."--"The Bulletin"

Product Description
Though legally blind, Paul Fisher can see what others cannot. 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 - until his family moves to Tangerine. In this Florida town, weird is normal: Lightning strikes at the same time every day, a sinkhole swallows a local school, and Paul the geek finds himself adopted into the toughest group around: the soccer team at his middle school. Maybe this new start in Tangerine will help Paul finally see the truth about his past - and will give him the courage to face up to his terrifying older brother. It includes a reader's guide and an afterword by the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusual, but good, 19 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tangerine (Hardcover)
Tangerine is one of a kind. I really liked this book, but I wish Paul and Erik communicated more. Erik is a total nutcase who can't get himself straightend out. Paul has to put up with Erik and his dad, who always talks about the "Erik Fisher Football Dream." All his dad's dreams are shattered when everyone finds out the truth about Erik.

4.0 out of 5 stars Football with a twist, 23 Sep 2008
By Marianne Jenkinson "MBrooks" (Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Clever, well timed, well researched, well written. You can't really ask for more from a book on football! This book will turn any boy's head to read, it includes American AND British football, now THAT'S clever. It includes boys and girls and romance and death and is NOT a kissing book. More Bloor!
