Tangerine by Edward Bloor-setting?

Question

this is my summer reading, and I didn't know what time frame it was in for a book report quesiton...i know the diary dates from august to december but i dont think thats all. thanks!

Answer 1

I know i have to read it, too.

I should be in the present because nothing makes it seem in the past or the future.

But, the scenes he keeps remembering about in Houston must be around 5 years ago, since  it was when he was in elementary school.

Now, he's in 7th grade.

Answer 2

that was kinda a good book, i read it in 8th grade
