About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked by those around them or is struggling to reconcile the person they know their sibling to be with the hero the world sees. Tangerine is a gripping story about twelve year old Paul, who is legally blind but sees his family's toxic dynamics more clearly than anyone else. It explores the weight of keeping family secrets and the courage required to finally speak the truth out loud. While it features intense sports action, the heart of the story lies in Paul's journey toward self confidence and justice. It is an ideal pick for middle schoolers ready for a realistic, sometimes gritty exploration of sibling rivalry and standing up for what is right in the face of intimidation.
