Tangerine - Teen Book Review

In this book Paul (the main character) and his family move from Texas to Florida because of a job switch. In Paul's new school, Lake Windsor Middle School, he joins the soccer team. But when his team finds out he has an IEP he gets kicked off the team. After that a sinkhole occurs and destroys part of their school so the students have a choice to switch schools from Lake Windsor to Tangerine or a private school. Paul takes the choice of switching to Tangerine so he can play on their soccer team, and then there is a murder and Paul's brother is really mean to him. In the end they almost leave you hanging.

I rated it a 4 out of 5 stars because the story had really good foreshadowing and good flash-backs, like when Paul remembered a time where he almost got hit with a car. Also I enjoyed reading about the difficulties Paul faced with his vision impairment. Overall it was a decent book.
