I picked this book up as part of a reading prompt challenge. I did not read too much into the synopsis of the story, just opened the book and started reading. Oh, what fun I had! This is a very emotionally-driven story, at least I thought so. There were times I wanted to reach into the pages and wrap Bud in a hug and give him a home. Then on the very next page I was laughing at how he found himself a temporary family in the food line (that is all I’m going to say about that scene!). Bud is a brave boy who was determined to find his family. Sometimes, they show up in surprising ways.
