Travis is a quiet boy. He never was one to talk much, preferring to confide in his dog. But now his dog is dead, and Travis is as silent as a stone, in a new school and new house, forced to live with his reforming alcoholic grandfather. But then he meets Velveeta. She is everything he isn't - funny, fast-speaking, and light. And so it begins. Bluefish is a beautiful book. The characters are wonderfully easy to relate to and understand, yet the book still retains a sense of story and narrative that is rarely seen in modern YA books. A must read.
Who would enjoy this? Anybody who enjoys beauty in a piece of work. This book has it.
