Summary: Tangerine
Review: The book I selected was by a new author named Edward Bloor. The name of the book is Tangerine. My teacher informed me that the book was about sports. I thought it would be interesting, participating in and watching sports are two of my favorite past times. I am glad that I read the book because it is about more than just sports. It is about life. The title of the book is the name of the county where a boy named Paul Fisher lived. It narrarates the story of his life. The life is that of a normal eleven year old boy. .... His most endearing qualities were a caring nature, a helpful attitude, and a willingness to adjust to the ups and downs of daily living. The author's style was both captivating and easy going. Details of events and feelings were communicated well. It made the reading easy.

Summary: Tangerine
Review: Paul Fisher loves to play soccer, but when he moves form Housten to Tangerine Country he is very nervous but that seems to help him fit into the toughest group around at Tangerine Mddle School. Tangerine, a town in Florida with weird mysterious muck fires no one seems to want to put out, a place that was once full of tangerine groves but now holds tons of housing complexes with a pond that the fish population disipates every day. Edward Bloor adds mystery to the life of poor Paul Fisher, his friends, the groves, and he makes the readers question ideas in the book. This book has a very good and interesting subject that grabs the readers attention. But in the beginning of the book it is a bit slow but that gets better tward the middle of the book. It's a wonderful book that i would recommend to anyone the loves a good book that they would get hooked on! This books asks why no one can see what Erik is doing to him self and his family, why lightning strikes the same practice field everyday, why all the houses on one stret are being robbed and attacked by bugs at the same time, and why a sink hole swallows his school. So if you want a good book to read you'll love Tangerine by Edward Bloor!

Summary: Sports novel with a difference!
Review: Sports novel, coming of age story, surrealistic social commentary--this novel defies categorization "a la teacher genre wheel," but it never disappoints as a compelling and unusual read. Paul moves to a new Florida subdivision, and when a strange daily occurence finally forces him to attend a different school in the "tough" part of town, he takes the opportunity and runs. He becomes friends with and star goalie for the ragtag soccer team there. Underneath all the sports action, there remains a dark and undefinable but very real sense of forboding in Paul's world, and it all seems to point toward some past experience with his older brother, his father's "golden boy." The twists and turns in the plot are fascinating to follow, as Paul moves closer and closer to confronting his ghosts. The reader begins to guess at what these ghosts might be, but Bloor's writing is such that we stay with it, hoping to find out we are wrong. The sometimes surreal setting and certain aspects of the plot are not for the unsophisticated young reader. For those kids who enjoy a complex storyline, and can deal with sometimes harsh realities of "family skeletons," TANGERINE is engaging from the very beginning. My son read the book as a 7th grader, and his comment, other than that he enjoyed it, was "I hate when a book makes you think even after you finished reading it!" As a mom and teacher of that age group, that comment is music to my ears and sums up the book succintly!

Summary: A Book You Can't Put Down
Review: The book Tangerine was a very touching thriller. It is about a boy named Paul Fisher, an unpopular soccer player who lives in a family that aims just about all of their attention toward the older brother, Erik, a star football player in high school. Paul, Erik, and his mom and dad move from Houston TX to Tangerine FL when Paul is in 7th grade. Paul tries hard to fit in as he gets used to his new surroundings. He had grown up to be known as a geek because of the big, thick glasses he has had to wear. He would be called "Eclipse boy", "Mars man", and many other awful names. On the other hand, Erik is the star of the Tangerine High School football team right from the first game he plays for them. He gets in the local paper, and it tells how amazing it is that he can kick 45 to 50-yard field goal kicks. Paul's dad, who can't stop talking about Erik going on to the pros, gets on Paul's nerves. "The Erik Fisher football dream" is the name Paul gives it. In Paul's family, it never seems to be forgotten. I say this book is a thriller because of certain mysteries, such as how Paul and his family have become the way they are. I enjoyed the way every chapter drew you in and kept you wondering how events turned about, and what would happen next. The story builds to a climax where a mystery is revealed. Paul tells the story very well. Many of the things he says and thinks are very touching. I think Paul describes his point of view and what he thinks very well. I like the fact that he doesn't care if he isn't the star of the family or town, but still cares about playing hard in every soccer game and trying to do well for his team. I really enjoyed reading this, even with the sad parts. A reader would want things to turn out well for a person like Paul. This is a wonderful story about growing up, and I highly recommend it!

Summary: Paul the keeper of secrets
Review: There were two story lines in the book. The first story involved Paul Fisher. Paul is a good soccer player but no one in his family seemed to notice. He really wanted to fit in and make friends at his new school. In his old school he was not popular and did not make goalie on his soccer team. In his new school he makes the soccer team but was then told by his coach he had to leave the team. The coach said that the schools insurance would not cover him because of his vision problems. Then the school was swallowed by a sinkhole, which allowed him to attend the Tangerine Middle School. He begged his mom to throw out the IEP paperwork when she transferred him. If the new school did not know about his IEP and he made the soccer team, he would be able to play. This is the only time his mom really listens to him and she does it. He did make the team and looked forward to playing. They even said that he could be the substitute goalie. Tangerine Middle School was a tough school, but he was able to make friends. He learned what it meant to stand up for yourself and your friends. The other part of the story was about his brother Eric and the "Eric Fisher Football Dream". Eric was a star football player and always had been. That was the biggest part of why they moved was to allow Eric to get scouted for college scholarships. Eric was not a nice person. He was very popular because he intimidated everyone. If he did not like you or if you did not like him, he or his friends would beat you up. As the book goes on you find out that Eric is why Paul has vision problems. You also find out that Eric and his best buddy Arthur Bauer get into some trouble. Things don't always appear, as they seem. On the outside Eric was a good football player, the all American kid. He also was a mean person with a very dark side and a thief. This was a good book it had some funny stories, and as you can see some sad. I liked this book a lot. There was always something happening a real page-turner. You really get to know the characters. I recommend it for kids and adults.

Summary: really quite good
Review: at first when i got this book, i didnt think id like it. however, when i read it, i was anxious as to see what would happen next in the story. this really isnt a book for children, as its got a bunch of killing in it and it describes weapons and all that. this is kinda like a thriller. the boy (i cant remember his name) is moving to florida with his family. he wants to know why he wears these big glasses, when his parents say he looked directly into an eclipse. he knows that it cant be this, thuogh, becasue every once in a while he has these flash backs. the story is basicly about how hes is trying to find out what happened to him, and his struggle with his brother, who always seems to be better than him, and how his dad only really pays attention to his brother. i wont say anything else tho, u gotta read it

Summary: TANGERINE
Review: The book Tangerine, by Edward Bloor was a page turner. A great book for kids 11 and up! Tangerine starts out in Houston, Texas. Paul, the main character is looking back at his old house driving to his new house in Tangerine, Florida. When he and his mom arrive, they are greeted by his dad and his older brother Erik. Erik is a football star and his dad has an "Erik Fisher Football Dream." Paul Fisher enrolls at Lake Windsor Middle School. After a terrible disaster at Lake Windsor Paul has to go to Tangerine Middle. After a week or so at Tangerine Middle Paul gets on the soccer team and makes some "friends." Luis Cruz, Victor's and Theresa's brother has an invention called "The Golden Dawn Tangerine." Paul is invited to take care of the Golden Dawns. He is taken to the grove and starts working on the trees. This is a very important time in the book, because Paul is now closer to his friends and now has a good work ethic. In conclusion, Tangerine was an excellent book. Paul is a good main character and is faced with many real life problems. I give this book 5 stars. I recommend this book for anyone.
