Description

Paul Fisher sees the world through thick glasses that make him look like an alien. But he's not blind to the strange things about his family's new home in Tangerine County, Florida. A sinkhole swallowed the local school, fire burned underground for years, and lightning strikes at the same time every day. His life is chaotic, especially with a football-star brother who harasses him constantly. Joining the soccer team at his middle school helps Paul discover what's beneath the surface of his strange new hometown. With new teammates by his side, he gains courage to face secrets his family has been keeping from him for too long. In Tangerine, anything seems possible. A richly imagined read about an underdog coming into his own, this book is a story about finding your place and facing the truth.
