Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

4.5

My niece read this for her literature class, and it’s the most excited and talkative I’ve ever seen her about school. I knew basically the entire plot going in from her telling it to me multiple times, but I wanted to read it for myself so I could talk about it with her. 

Am I the intended audience for this? No. But even I got something (a lot of things, actually) out of it. I’m so glad it’s being taught in schools even 25 years after its publication.
