It about a foster boy who runs through all of these different places and at the end he finds grandpa that he thought was his dad.
This book is about when the great depression, And about this boy on the run and his moms dead and his trying to find his dad but found something else
it starts out with a boy who has no family, and he ends up finding his grandpa, which is herman e. calloway and he figures out the room he was sleeping in at his grandpas cabin was his moms old room, and his mom past away. the hole book is just completely wonderful
Bud, not Buddy is about the adventure of a boy named Bud as he tries to find his father who he believes is Herman E. Calloway who lives in Grand Rapids. The book is interesting and it made me really care about what happened to Bud. I like how the book uses fictional characters to describe how life would be like during the Great Depression. Bud thinks that his father is Herman because of the pictures his mother left behind when she passed away. I won't spoil the ending, but the ending is really satisfying and hopeful for the future of Bud.
