This book really changed how I think about things. I had read one of the authors other books, "Elijah of Buxton" when my book club decided to read it. So then we decided to read "Bud, Not Buddy."
This is a very funny book. I liked the part when.... Oh wait, I won't spoil it for you. Just read it and find out my favorite part!- bud not buddyabout 3 yearsit is a amazing book
- Lisaanneover 3 yearsIt's been almost 5 years since I've read Bud, Not Buddy and its impact is still with me.
- Personally I did not enjoy this book because it was a force read from my teacher and that usually ruins a book for me:(
Awesome I read this book in my class
LOVED IT!- This book is about Bud...he’s a very smart 10 year old and has a big imagination. He’s an orphan and a foster kid. Bud runs away and meets Lefty Lewis and Herman E. Calloway...who turns about to be a part of his family. He thinks Lefty Lewis is a vampire. Bud keeps his emotions and possessions all in his suitcase, and keeps everything to himself. This is a really good but sometimes long book. It does have one bit of strong language. We would recommend this book.
This is a really, really good book.
this is my book club book and its pretty good, it takes place in the great depresion! About a kid who dousen't have parents.
