Answer 1

Tangerine by Edward Bloor

Summary

So what if he's legally blind? Even with his bottle-thick, bug-eyed glasses, Paul Fisher can see better than most people. He can see the lies his parents and brother live out, day after day. No one ever listens to Paul, though--until the family moves to Tangerine. In Tangerine, even a blind, geeky, alien freak can become cool. Who knows? Paul might even become a hero!

Answer 2

Tangerine-author edward bloor, publisher scholastic inc,year of publication 1/1/97, 294 pages. The book deals with a variety of subjects such as race relations, child rearing, class conflict, sports etc.. It is about  the revelations that  teenagers experience  when they start to grow older and begin to view their families more objectively or through more detached eyes. For example why do pauls parents idolise his elder brother so much when paul can see he is the devil incarnate even though he is blind which is a result of a childhood accident. In the town of tangerine lightning strikes at the same time  almost every day and there are the constant fires from the strikes hitting the fields of lignite.Paul goes to lake windsor middle school, struggles to fit in and befriends joey costello brother of  mike who is pauls teammate in the soccer team.

Mike is killed by a lightning strike and lake windsor is partially destroyed by a sinkhole.Paul moves to tangerine middle to play soccer and meets thereza cruz.Victor guzman and therezas  brother  tino let paul join their group. Another brother luis cruz is trying to develop a new tangerine called the golden dawn and this is the basis for the title and pauls science project. However, odd things are happening, pauls friend joey and his family plus twenty four other homes have to live in tents when their home is invaded by termites and soon the tent houses are robbed. When lake windsors wins a football match an act of vandelism takes place in pauls yard. Erik attacks tino,and his friend arthur bauer hits luis with a blackjack. Soon after luis dies.
