* Lake Windsor Downs, Florida: This is the wealthy, gated community where Erik Fisher and his family live. It's a highly controlled environment with strict rules and a strong emphasis on appearances.
* Tangerine Middle School: This is where Erik attends school. It's a diverse school, filled with students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. It's also where Erik discovers his passion for soccer and faces the challenges of navigating a new environment with its own set of social dynamics.
While the story primarily unfolds within these two settings, the book also includes brief mentions of other locations, like Erik's old home in New York City. However, Lake Windsor Downs and Tangerine Middle School are the most prominent and influential settings in the novel.
