Bluefish

A bluefish is a fish that is dumb, and Travis believs he is one. Travis has a problem. He can't seem to figure it out though. His dog Rosco has run off, his only friend gone... or did he run off? Travis can't figure it out. His grampa likes to drink and Travis is doing the best to make him stop it, but will he find success? Everything seems to change on the first day of his at his new high school. He meets Mr. McQueen who seems to want an answer so badly he'll fight anyone for it. He finally finds out Travis's secret and so does another girl who is reading The Book Thief. Something is about Travis is changing and you can read to find out. Pat Schmatz did a wonderful job on Bluefish and you should REALLY consider reading it. An age eight or nine and up book.
