Tangerine

TANGERINE

Tangerine is a book about a boy named Paul Fisher. Paul Fisher had just moved from Texas to Lake Windsor Downs in Tangerine County, Florida. His mom had found a job of being a real estate agent there. Paul’s dad never pays very much attention to Paul; he never even goes to one of Paul’s soccer games. All Paul’s dad worries about is Paul’s older brother, Erik. Erik Fisher is a high school football star, but to Paul he is no hero. Paul’s dad tries to get Erik a football scholarship; so Paul’s dad pushes Erik into doing much better at football. When Paul first moved to Tangerine, Florida, Paul meets a boy named, Joey Costello; they become very good friends. When Paul goes to school, he encourages Joey to go to soccer try outs. Both Joey and Paul make the team, but when a tragic event happens at a football practice, everything between Paul and Joey changes. As Paul lives his life in Tangerine, Florida, he finds out shocking information about his bother, his new group of friends, and his own dangerous past. I rate Tangerine a (4 stars) book. I rate it a 4 star because, the beginning wasn’t very interesting, because it only given background information on Paul Fisher and his family and it wasn’t right into the story. Also because I didn’t really get the book at first, because some parts like the beginning weren’t making any sense at all, because some parts said informational things that I thought weren’t needed in the book. I didn’t rate this book any lower because once I was in the middle of the story, I kept wanting to read on and on because there were a lot of interesting events in the book.

Tangerine

The story is about a twelve year old boy named Paul who is trying to play soccer. Paul and his family moves from their hometown to tangerine so his brother can play on a all star football team named the Sea-Gulls. Paul is living in the shadows of his football hero brother named Erik. Paul is fighting to play sports despite his near blindness and slowly remembers what happend to his eyesight. The theme of the story is when paul gets on the soccer team and gets to play some soccer and another on is when erik gets on the football team, another one is when erik and aruther kill Louis because he was better than erik and erik didn’t want to lose his spot on the feild and on the team. So the story is basically about paul discovering his dangerous past about what happend to his eye sight!!!!!!!!! I would rate Tangerine at a (5 stars) book because at the beginning its really boring and you just want to stop reading but you know something good is going to happen so you just keep on reading and when you do the book just keeps on getting better and then when you get done reading the book you realize that Tangerine is a great book to read its a book for all ages!!!!!

Tangerine Tangerine is about a boy named Paul Fisher who loves the look and smell of Tangerines as well as playing soccer. He moves to a new school and a very bad thing happens to it. and he is temporarily moved to Tangerine Middle School. The kids make fun of him because he wears very thick glasses. Him and his older brother Erik never have gotten along. Paul never understood why, but he knows it has something to do with his glasses...and he will find out why. I rate this book: 5 stars. I rated this book with five stars because the author really captures you in the book and you don’t want to put it down. In this book there is no boring spot, it is always interesting.
