tangerine

Tangerine, by Edward Bloor ISBN: 0-15-201246-X c1997 294 pages R.L. 5.4 Points-14

Good sections to read aloud: -page 22...first paragraph when Paul is explaining how the rest of his family members will be contributing to the new town, Tangerine, that they are moving to, but will he?

Summary: Paul has always been on the outside. Moving to Tangerine, he hopes, will help him be a part of a group...some group...any group. But, just like before, everyone pays attention to his older brother, Erik, a big shot football star. What these people don’t realize (including their parents) is that Erik is not the person they think he is. Paul knows...but can he figure out his older brother? And even if he can, will anyone believe him?
