icered 's review for:
Bud, Not Buddy
by Christopher Paul Curtis
The book is about a 10 year old named Bud, his mother died when he was 6 and he now is on a mission to find his father. After running away from the Home he decides to go west in order to find his father and escape the endless cycle of being in new foster care homes. He meets many different characters on his journey and learns more about the Depression-era he is living in as he does. He eventually get to his destination and comes face to face with the man he believes is his father.
I read this book as a kind and really like it. I loved it even more as an adult. Through his 10-year-old eyes, the world is a little softer and easier to digest for elementary school kids while still expanding their brains and introducing them to new concepts. I loved traveling around with Bud and seeing the world through his eyes. He has gone through so much already that he thinks he is all grown but through an adult's eyes I can see how young and innocent he is still. A lovey story without being too harsh for young kids.
