spookystacks 's review for:

Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis
5.0

This book is brilliantly written and gives a very realistic depiction of Flint, Michigan during the Great Depression. Poignant and at some times, heartbreaking, Bud's story truly did touch my heart. It was also pretty cool that Curtis' grandfathers are the basis for two characters in the story, and I loved that this story gave me a chance to see things from a new perspective.
