aka: The Book Thief. And why? The genre of this book is realistic fiction.
I picked it up one night before going to bed… And had finished it by breakfast the next morning.
The thing that kept coming to mind as I read was that each character was flawed, but they were doing their best. Set in present day Russet, Wisconsin, the story follows a tall, shy, angry 13-year-old boy named Travis, who is terrified to share his secret that he cannot read. But that’s before Travis meets Mr. McQueen, who doesn’t take "pass" for an answer—a rare teacher whose savvy persistence has Travis slowly unlocking a book on the natuTravis is missing his old home in the country, and he’s missing his old hound, Rosco. Overall, I liked it.An outstanding story about working through grief and supporting one another. So many YA novels portray ALL adults as the cause of angst and unhappiness—so glad to see a few sensitive and insightful grown-ups in the lives of Velveeta and Travis.
However this girl named Velveeta who is smart knows Travis has a secret and she tries to discover it however Travis knows she has secrets of her own. Also, can we just take a moment to celebrate a book written about teenagers where they don't fall into the ultimate love with one another and never look back for the rest of their It was an emotional ride but it's a very gratifying, quick read, at the same time. I am going to tell you all about the book Bluefish as you can see.
Imagine if you had to start everything over again, new school, new friends, new teachers, new everything. Reminded me a little of Okay For Now by Gary Schmidt, since Travis is a kid who could choose to get into trouble but is really trying not to.Loved this. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Well I definitely wouldn't because my life is already good as it is so that's why I wouldn't.

She occasionally teaches writing on-line and in person, and is always happy for a chance to visit a middle school or high school classroom.
However, we still see advance reviews for most books, and I really do think Bluefish is going to be one of those that will be under the radar.Bluefish by Pat Schmatz is an understated contemporary novel.
As someone who grew up with a learning disability, a dual form of dyslexia, reading this book was much like reliving some of my own childhood. Sep 13, 2011 | ISBN 9780763653347 | Young Adult
Unique and original, believable and poignant, this is a book with power of its own.” — The Horn Book (starred review) Thirteen-year-old Travis has a secret: he can’t read.
Travis Roberts is the new kid in the eighth grade. Originally published in 2011, Bluefish is the realistic fictional children’s book written by American author Pat Schmatz. Great book about what it means to be a friend, selfless caring and empathy, and sticking up to the bullies. He’ll always be a bluefish. It reminded me a lot of an adult trying to remember childhood.One more reminder that kids are able to handle and HIDE more than we think.

The three teens managed to be friends because they allowed each other to be imperfect, and they recognized their need for each other.
When you hit a period, swallow. I got very little sleep that night. There is one (literal) jaw-dropping, OMG moment--and I thoroughly enjoyed it because I did not see it coming. Don't try to eat any circled words.” You will see how his friends try helping him out.Imagine moving somewhere far away from home and you could never go back, starting at a new school, a new life, and there was no way out.
Maybe now he has a reason to begin caring again…even if he is just a bluefish.It was an emotional ride but it's a very gratifying, quick read, at the same time.
