Week 7, Book Talk; Bud, Not Buddy

Curtis, C. P. (1999). Bud, not Buddy. New York: Delacorte Press.

If you had just run away from your terrible adopted parents, where would you go?

In a world pitted against him, a tough 10 year-old boy must find a way to eat and a place to sleep.  However, with no family he has no place to go.  All he has in his possession is an old suitcase, some flyers of a music group his mother used to look at, and a picture of her.  Where will he go and what will he do?  Where would you go and what would you do?

Bud, Not Buddy is a historical fiction book written during the Great Depression.  The story of this young man will have the reader feeling his pain and struggles to find his place in life.
