![]() ![]() I think the book’s length and sensitive topics at times may lead to a Young Adult, but Tangerine could be read by middle school age readers. It’s listed on Amazon as ages 10+ and others state Tangerine as a Young Adult book. I think Tangerine would be useful for great discussion in the classroom. My book edition included questions in the back. ![]() I enjoyed Tangerine, but I felt it was rushed at the end and there were loose ties. ![]() Tangerine is entirely written from Paul’s perspective in journal entry format. Paul finally finds his ‘groove’ when he joins the middle school soccer team, although even then it takes time for him to really fit in. His father only focuses on his high school brother’s goal of becoming the next great football player. His mom’s mainly concerned with the odd town situations. Strange events occur in Tangerine, Florida, such as constant lightning and fires. In fact, Paul feels that he can see and sense things that others around him cannot see. Paul is legally blind, but can still see with his glasses. Twelve-year-old Paul and his family recently moved to Tangerine, Florida.
