graggirl 's review for:
Bud, Not Buddy
by Christopher Paul Curtis
This story is set in the Great Depression. It follows a young orphan who surprises the man he thinks is his father. The story incorporates jazz, racism, historical perspective, and self determination themes. I enjoyed Bud the main character and the Jazz band he finds himself a part of. The theme of kindness pervades the story even though the secondary character is gruff and mean.
