5.0
Bud, Not Buddy (My Kindle Review)
Young Bud Caldwell’s story takes place during the Great Depression, as he lost his mother to illness and has been living in a foster family where he’s poorly treated. He makes the bold decision to escape them and go out on his own in Flint, Michigan to find the man who he believes might be his long lost father: famed jazz musician Herman E. Calloway. Along his travels, he’ll meet many interesting people and have his suitcase and list of unique rules that’ll help him.
Another incredible story from Curtis that has the same quirkiness as “The Watsons Go to Birmingham” but with a more emotional punch. Bud’s journey is full of surprises as he does whatever he can to find safety and the answers he looking for. When he does find them, it really change the story’s tone into a bittersweet one. In the end, it’s a wonderful story of growing up and never letting go of the memories of loved ones. A (100%/Outstanding)
