Noël's reading ...Tangerine
Bloor, Edward. Tangerine. YA/ BLO
12-year-old Paul, his parents, and his brother, Erik – the football star -- have moved from Houston to Tangerine County, Florida. Seems normal enough, on the surface – but Tangerine proves to be a place where fires burn underground, where lightning strikes almost every day at 4 pm, and where massive sinkholes threaten to bury children alive. Paul is legally blind, due to an accident when he was 5, which he can almost, but not quite, remember. He only knows that he is terrified of his brother Erik, and that there are secrets his family does not want to tell him. Since Paul is a soccer player, this book is equal parts mystery and sports-themed. Easy read, definite page-turner! 294 pp.
