Bluefish by Pat Schmatz
Travis Roberts has just moved from the only home he's known to a new place in town and a new school. He had to leave behind his "place" at the swamp, and most importantly, his best friend, a dog named Rosco. His parents are gone, and his grandpa isn't around much between work and AA meetings. Travis struggles in school, knowing that the secret he's keeping won't be one for long. Then he meets a teacher named Mr. McQueen who gives him a new hope for his future and a girl named Vida, a.k.a. Velveeta, who has some struggles of her own. Together, the two lean on each other, and end up saving themselves.
