Summary of The Book Tangerine

      The Fisher family moves to Tangerine, Florida, because the father has a new job there. But Paul soon learns about some unusual occurrences in Tangerine. Paul is soon unhappy, because his mother tells the school that he has IEP (he basically can't see). Even though Paul thinks that he can see. He can even see better than his parents at times. Paul has been told that he has to wear thick glasses because years ago he supposedly looked at an eclipse too long. Paul tries out for the soccer team and made the team. However, because he's listed as having IEP, he isn't allowed to play. So Paul is overshadowed because of "Erik's Football Dream". Paul soon has to move to a new school without IEP now, so he plays backup goalie for the team. But there is huge drama in the book there are about three big twists in the book, they all make you rethink everything in the book. In short, it's a great book for people who like Sport Stories.
