Tangerine by Edward Bloor

Tangerine, by Edward Bloor, is a book with many interesting characters and events. The main character is a visually impaired boy named Paul Fisher. He and his family move to Tangerine, Florida and as soon as they get there strange things occur. People are killed, schools are destroyed and there's all this buzz around Paul's mysterious older brother, Erik. His parent's are blinded by Erik's football talent. Paul may be visually challenged but he can see the real Erik, who seems to be filled with evil. When Paul was younger something happened to his eyes and now he's starting to remember all that happened.

This book had its happy parts (like when Erik got caught) its sad part's (like when Luis died) and my favorite part which was when Erik got beaten up by Victor and Tino. It felt like long deserved justice was finally being served. Also, I thought it was kind of funny.

I think that the one thing the author was trying to get across through the book was that; "The truth will set you free", exactly as they said it in the book. I don't think the author just said that to be cool.
