Perfect Tangerine The Gift of Miracle Daley by Sam Mukherjee was 88 of 2020.
It begins thus: ““I have never seen God. But when I looked at him, I knew there was one.” Those were the first thoughts that went through my father’s mind and nearly escaped his lips right after I was born.”
The world has been bereft of new babies for three long years. Humankind has all but given up hope for a future. And then, out pops Miracle Daley to Doris and Tom Daley.— just the wonder the world was waiting for Overnight, everything changes for his family. While his parents try to keep the attention and adulation from going to his head, his ambitious grandmother has other ideas and it’s no surprise that Miracle ends up being a spoilt brat.
And with his Grannys support, Miracle grows up believing love and stardom are his birthright. From magazine covers to peoples hearts, Miracle rules for eleven uninterrupted years. But because of his spoilt ways, his popularity fades. Then the inevitable happens? the baby drought ends and Miracle becomes a has-been. When teachers stop home-schooling Miracle, he is forced to attend regular school and Joka Pack, the school bully, becomes his nemesis. One day, chased by Jokas gang, Miracle escapes into the woods. There, he meets and befriends a dolhorina-Vibgyor, who tells him that instead of creating problems, he should solve them. The deer guides Miracle on tackling the bully and gaining acceptance in school. As Miracle wonders if Vibgyor is real or just a figment of his imagination, he realizes it is time to get off his high horse and earn the adoration he so desperately misses. But can he do anything to win back the affection once showered upon him or will he need a miracle? Being the only companion to Stark Montana when he was unwell and reuniting him with his wife Chrissina, made him the Miracle boy once again.
His Granny was missing, she was out making a call to The Newsworthy Network telling "I have some news you can use".
The voice of the narrator is discordant for a book that is targeted at a middle-grade audience.
It is basically flat narration.
