Christopher Paul Curtis, Bud, not Buddy Review

Overall Rating

1. The storyline was really well planned
2. The story related to and touched on some real life events.
3. The main character was well described.

I didn't think the ending was as good as the rest of the book. I won't say any more because it will give some things away!

This book is mainly about family and friendship. It is about a boy called Bud who's mother has died, and who's father is alive, but Bud doesn't know where his father is. Bud lives in a carehome, but decides to run off in search of his father. His only clue is a flyer for a band, which he found in his mothers private drawer after she died, and on which the band leader has a surname incredibly like Bud's. Bud has lots of mini adventures, but the question is: Does Bud find his father in the end, or does he find the next best thing?
