Bud, Not Buddy

245 pp. | Delacorte | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-385-32306-9 $$15.95
(2) 4-6 It's the Depression, and Bud is ten and has been in and out of the Flint, Michigan, children's home and foster homes since his mother died. After a particularly terrible, though riotously recounted, evening with his latest foster family, Bud decides to take off and find the man he believes is his father, bandleader Herman E. Calloway. Bud's fresh voice keeps the sentimentality to a minimum, and the story zips along in step with Bud's own panache.
