I wasn't surprised when Mike Costello got struck by lightning. As Paul said "Weird things happen in this town." I was surprised though when nobody said a word about it the next day. I wonder what will happen next.

This is a really interesting book. I feel bad for Paul. He even said "nobody really likes me, I don't have any friends either." He is trying though and that is all that counts. I hope since he has moved he will make new friends. Overall this is a really nice and relate able book, so if you see it you should read it.

Tangerine by Edward Bloor is a novel about the Fisherman family and their sons, Erik and Paul. His entire life he has been told that he has glasses because he looked into a full solar eclipse. He does not recall this happening. As he stated "I do not know why I have glasses, one year I didn't have them, then next year I had them." This confuses him because he never remembers getting them, they are just there.
