Reading level: 6th grade-
Pages: 240 ish
I picked this book up because I though it was about a blind boy, but turned out the boy was legally blind and the story is more centered around soccer and football. This book has won several awards and is also on Barnes and Nobles summer reading list.
Honestly I found the story a little bizarre. It is about a 7th grade boy who moved with his family from Houston to Tangerine, Florida (hence the title). The events that follow are struggling with a school, a jerk older brother that is the football star, the school falling into a sinkhole, killer mosquitoes and jewel thieves.
I won't read this one again, and i wouldn't recommend it unless you had an interest in soccer. This would probably appeal to a teen aged boy, but then again the twists and turns really made the plot interesting.
