I really like this book. It tells you the story of Bud, a ten year old boy who is trying to find his father. Through supposed vampires and mean foster parents, he finds many friends along the way. I give this book a 100% rating. Read it if you like good stories.

This is a hilarious story with mind blowing characters. This gives you a very god idea of what it was like during the 1930s and makes you feel so much more thankful for what we have, now. The crazy thing about this is you are learning and getting a good laugh at the same time! I would definately recommend this book and am proud to say this is one of my 2 favorite books ever!!!

We read this book in class and at first it was kind of boring but when you realize how much we have compared to other people you start to enjoy the book and it really has a good moral to it so anyone in 4th grade or higher if you are looking for a good read this is the book you have been waiting for.

I would recommend this book because it is fun to read and I like how the author described everything in the book like he was Bud.

It was funny sometimes but other times serious. But I liked it.

Bud, Not Buddy is a really good book for anyone in middle school or higher. This book is filled with different kinds of emotion, since it is during the Great Depression. My seventh grade language arts teacher read us this book and we wanted to read more every single day!
