one fish, two fish, red fish...

I just downloaded this book tonight... Bluefish by Pat Schmatz.
Here's what I can tell you, it's going to be a late night.


"Thirteen-year-old Travis has a secret: he can't read. But a shrewd teacher and a sassy girl are about to change everything in this witty and deeply moving novel."


Eighth-graders Travis (Bluefish) and Vida (Velveeta) are two unlikely friends, both hiding secrets.


Courage and kindness, redemption and forgiveness... and references to The Book Thief... are just a few of the reasons I am loving this book.
