Travis and Velveeta are damaged goods. Travis can’t hold it together at school. Velveeta has some serious issues at home. Things change for the better, though, when these two characters find one another and begin to soften the rough edges in each other’s lives. This quiet, unassuming book is a gorgeous testament to the power of persistent love—and surprising friendships.
