Bud, Not Buddy

by Christopher Paul Curtis

Ten-year-old Bud has his own rules for getting by, and a big heart under all that toughness. Growing up in Michigan during the Great Depression, he sets out on his own to find the man he thinks is his father, a jazz band leader. Along the way he meets the band members, who take him in. Funny, warm and sometimes sad, this is a story kids remember long after they finish it.
