Tangerine Part 3

What an ending to the book and maybe a beginning to a new story.

Where should I start.... Well I begin with the beginning of the end for Paul Fisher. Paul and his partner in crime murdered Luis Cruz seemed to only to be a small part to who Paul Fisher was. We learn that he was the one of the people stealing from the houses. He was the one responsible for Eric Fisher's sight problem's. Then he gets beat up at his football banquet. It seems that Paul Fisher is the all-american football star that many people thought he was (I told you in my first blog that there had to a problem with the star of the football team being the kicker). I guess I was right that there had to something wrong with Paul Fisher.

However, this epic story needs a second part. I almost has a soap opera quality to it. I am so wrapped up in life's of Paul, Eric, the rest of the Fishers, and the people around Tangerine that I need to see what happens next. Will Paul go to jail, what will happen with Eric at the new school, what else is going to happen in crazy Tangerine. Where is the second part to this book?

Since I don't know if there is a second part of the book I decided to blog about the overall book no that I have completed it. As I read the book, I always felt there was a a great deal of information to keep track of. A number of different stories go on all at the same time. Then, half way through the book I lost those feeling and another feeling took over. That being of almost a need to know what was going to happen next. There was so many elements to the story, that by the third part I couldn't stop reading until I found out what happened in the end.

That's really cool how you got "sucked" into the book. You didn't really like the second part, but the third part hooked you. You've identified something a lot of kids experience, but unfortunately they often give up on reading instead of sticking to it and finding the reward. How did you manage to find your way through all the different substories and ultimately get hooked? Identifying that and being able to help kids with that will go far as a teacher.
