Bud, Not Buddy

Bud, Not Buddy by, Christopher Paul Curtis. ISBN-13: 978-0385323062

This 2000 Newberry winner is the heartwarming story of Bud Caldwell, an African American orphan on the run in the midst of the great depression-- searching for the man he believes to be his father. This man, Herman E. Calloway, and his band, the Dusky Devastators of the Depression, may not be exactly what Bud was looking for, but they were what he was meant to find.
