Have you ever heard someone say that your life is different than you thought? Have you ever felt like your family was keeping a secret from you? These questions darted through thirteen-year-old Paul Fisher’s mind as he was trying to adjust to his new home in Tangerine County, Florida.
Moving to Tangerine may have seemed boring, but it bloomed into a full-fledged adventure. New school…new house…no friends. Paul tries to get on a soccer team, but he has an I.E.P. Will the school find out? When his school partially ends up in a sinkhole, Paul has to transition to another new school. Will he fit in, and will his I.E.P. follow him forever? In addition to all this, Paul has even bigger concerns on his mind about his brother. Eric has done many things that his family would never have predicted.
Mrs. Hanscom’s 6th Grade Reading class had a tough time putting this book down. They give it five stars because it pulls you into the plot with the suspense that keeps on building. People who like to try and predict what will happen next will fall in love with Tangerine by Edward Bloor.

When I was a little kid, I always wanted to find an old forgotten door in my house that would lead to secret rooms. In the book Coraline by Neil Gaiman, the main character, a girl named Coraline, DOES find a secret door. But nobody would ever want to find the rooms and the people in them that she finds. This book was so exciting and so scary, I stayed up almost all night to finish it.

Coraline is an only child with very busy parents. They just moved into a flat (English word for apartment) in an old house in England. It is the end of the summer and always raining and Coraline is very bored. One day she finds a key to a door off of their drawing room. There is another flat behind the door that looks a lot like theirs, and two people who look a lot like Coraline’s parents except for there are black buttons where their eyes should be. They REALLY want her to stay and be their little girl. Then her real parents go missing...

I recommend this book for people who have big imaginations and like to be scared. It is a thrilling adventure.
