(1) YA Eighth-graders Travis and Vida ("Velveeta") are hurting from losses in their lives: Travis's beloved dog has disappeared and his alcoholic grandfather has summarily moved them from their old house; Velveeta's friend and mentor has just died. Schmatz eloquently brings two ordinary young people to life on the page. The book is powerful: unique and original, believable and poignant.
