Have You Seen Luis Velez by Catherine Ryan Hyde

A feel good story about an unlikely friendship between a young seventeen year old boy and his elderly blind neighbor. About prejudices we all have and don't always realize. About doing more to bring someone happiness.
I absolutely loved the character of Raymond. He just wants a place to belong and doesn't seem to fit in anywhere, even in his own family. Then he finds friendship with this old lady who teaches him he can make his own family, his own place to belong. Such a beautiful heartwarming story.
