Though legally blind, Paul Fisher can see what others cannot. He can see that his parents' constant praise of his brother, Erik, the football star, is to cover up something that is terribly wrong. But no one listens to Paul - until his family moves to Tangerine. In this Florida town, weird is normal: Lightning strikes at the same time every day, a sinkhole swallows a local school, and Paul the geek finds himself adopted into the toughest group around: the soccer team at his middle school. Maybe this new start in Tangerine will help Paul finally see the truth about his past - and will give him the courage to face up to his terrifying older brother. It includes a reader's guide and an afterword by the author.
"Charity Meyers has only 12 hours to live.
Bienvenido a Tangerine. Este lugar es mas raro de lo que parece. Paul Fisher ve el mundo a traves de anteojos tan gruesos que parece un insecto del espacio exterior. Pero no esta tan ciego como para no ver que hay algunas cosas "muy" poco normales en la nueva casa de su familia, en el condado de Tangerine, Florida. En donde mas un socavon se traga la escuela de la localidad, el fuego arde debajo de la tierra por anos y caen rayos a la misma hora todos los dias? Con todo este caos, mezclado con el acoso constante de su hermano --quien es una estrella del futbol americano--, acoplarse a la vida en Tangerine no es facil para Paul. Hasta que se une al equipo de futbol de la escuela media donde estudia. Con la ayuda de sus nuevos companeros de equipo, Paul descubre lo que se esconde bajo la extrana superficie de su nuevo lugar de residencia. Y tambien obtiene el coraje para enfrentar algunos de los secretos que su familia le ha estado ocultando por demasiado tiempo. En Tangerine, tal parece, "cualquier cosa" es posible.
