Tangerine
by Edward Bloor
The Book
Paul Fisher\'s family is moving from Texas to Florida for a number of reasons. The most important one seems to be so that Paul\'s older brother Erik can impress the football scouts at some major universities. Indeed, most of what his parents do seems to be part of what Paul calls \"The Great Erik Fisher Football Dream.\" It is not that Paul is jealous. He, too, possesses some tremendous athletic ability on the soccer field despite being legally blind. But Erik is the favored son, indulged by parents, teachers, coaches, and friends, even though Paul knows that Erik\'s behavior is less than perfect. The move to Tangerine, Florida, might just open the eyes of everyone in the Fisher family.
