Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis Book Summary

Hit the road with Bud in this Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Award-winning classic about a boy on a journey to find his father—from Christopher Paul Curtis, recipient of the Coretta Scott King–Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement.
 
It’s 1936, in Flint Michigan. Times may be hard, and ten-year-old Bud may be a motherless boy on the run, but Bud’s got a few things going for him:

1. He has his own suitcase full of special things.
2. He’s the author of Bud Caldwell’s Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself.
3. His momma never told him who his father was, but she left a clue: flyers advertising Herman E. Calloway and his famous band, the Dusky Devastators of the Depression!!!!!!
 
Bud’s got an idea that those flyers will lead him to his father. Once he decides to hit the road to find this mystery man, nothing can stop him—not hunger, not fear, not vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself.

“[A] powerfully felt novel.” —The New York Times

WOW!!. So I wasn't sure if I would like this book, but my teacher gave it to me and said "Read this!" I loved this book SOOOOO much! There were so many parts I felt bad for him, and I had to tell myself it was fiction not real. The ending though!! It was just like "alright it's over now" and I was like "IS THERE A SEQUEL PLEASE LET THERE BE A SEQUEL!!!" But there's not :(. It was epic otherwise!!
