Description
Paul Fisher has always seen the world through thick glasses that make him feel like an outsider, but his move to Tangerine County, Florida reveals that his family's new home harbors far stranger mysteries than his own insecurities. When sinkholes swallow schools, underground fires burn for years, and lightning strikes with eerie regularity, Paul realizes that the chaos surrounding him extends far beyond his domineering football-star brother's constant harassment. Finding refuge on the middle school soccer team, Paul discovers an unexpected sense of belonging and the courage to uncover the long-buried secrets his family has kept hidden. As he navigates the surreal landscape of his new hometown, Paul learns that sometimes the most important discoveries are about ourselves and the truths we've been avoiding. In Tangerine, the extraordinary and the personal collide, challenging Paul to see beyond the surface—both literally and figuratively.
