![]() Paul cannot remember the event but in the family photos prior to that summer, he’s never wearing glasses.Įrik is a star football player and soon to be senior at Lake Windsor High. His older brother Erik tells people that Paul looked directly at a solar eclipse when he was five. He’s also legally blind, though he is able to see just fine with his (extremely thick) glasses. A star goalie at his last school, he’s hoping to make the soccer team here. (Though there actually is a Tangerine, Florida, the city in the novel is fictitious.) Paul is about to start seventh grade at Lake Windsor Middle School. He and his family have just relocated from Texas to Tangerine, Florida. The story unfolds via Paul Fisher’s journal entries. Readers quickly come to understand the characters but may never stop questioning their behaviors-behaviors that may be familiar, yet foreign. Edward Bloor’s writing is full and lively, and the narrator’s voice is authentic. Tangerine, an outstanding piece of fiction, is one of my favorites. ![]() ![]() The world and culture of sports provide fertile ground for rich storytelling. Though I’m not a real-life sports follower, I love a good sports novel. ![]()
