“If you didn’t have a real good imagination you’d probably think those noises were the sounds of some kid blowing a horn for the first time, but I knew better than that. I could tell those were the squeaks and squawks of one door closing and another one opening.”
It’s 1936, in Flint, Michigan. Times may be hard, and ten-year-old Bud may be a motherless boy on the run, but Bud’s got a few things going for him.
He has his own suitcase full of special things.
He’s the author of Bud Caldwell’s Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself.
His momma never told him who his father was, but she left a clue: flyers advertising Herman E. Calloway and his famous band, the Dusky Devastators of the Depression!!!!
Bud’s got an idea that those flyers will lead him to his father. Once he decides to hit the road and find this mystery man, nothing can stop him—not hunger, not vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself.
Read Alikes for Bud, Not Buddy: The Watsons Go To Birmingham—1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis; The Mighty Miss Malone by Christopher Paul Curtis; Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor; Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz
