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:
1. He has his own suitcase full of special things.
2. He’s the author of Bud Caldwell’s Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself.
3. 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 to find this mystery man, nothing can stop him—not hunger, not fear, not vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself.

I read this book to my class each year and now my kids. It has great history and talking points. The author used amazing imagery, word choice and voice throughout the book.

Bud, not Buddy follows a ten-year-old boy during the Great Depression in his journey to find a father he’s never met. As the Grandmother of a newly adopted young boy who is like Bud in nearly every way, this book deeply touched my heart. Bud, at least, had a mother who adored him and did everything in her power to care for him. That gave Bud a huge dose of “Hope” not available to so many of today’s children who find themselves in a system that can’t or doesn’t protect them. I wept, laughed, and cheered for Bud as he exhibited so many of the same qualities as our newest family member. If you ever wondered what it’s like to be a kid who simply wants to be loved and cared for, this book is a “must-read.”
Author Christopher Paul Curtis captures the heart and mind of a ten-year-old boy with courage and compassion. I did listen to my grandmother, and his research about the feelings of the day in the upper Midwest are ‘spot-on’ to the point you believe you are on the road with Bud. I urge parents everywhere to consider this book for their 8-12 year-olds. As I parent, I have only one word of caution. This book makes running away into a huge adventure. I would love to share this inspiration with my grandson, but it’s far too early. His pain is still too raw from the neglect and abuse, and I would fear he would conjure up visions of a wonderful man waiting to take him in and love him.

The people that are saying it’s so violent, or the kid is crazy because he fantasizes about shooting people have clearly not read the book. They heard their kids say one line from the very beginning of the story and then based their whole rating on that. You would have thought differently if you had read the whole book for yourself. It got an award for a reason, people.
Anyways, I read it for myself and I liked it. Almost every kid in class, including mine, liked it. There were surprises here and there, adventures here and there, and absolute determination in a little boy’s mind to find his dad. Just read it for yourself instead of relying on the sum up of one paragraph in the entire book that your kid told you about. You won’t be disappointed.

I enjoyed reading the book with my boys. This book is more focused for middle schoolers. It is an excellent book to explain parts of United States and poor young boys. The struggles they endured. The book is incredibly humbling yet very funny at times.

Very useful and very good.

Great children’s book
Maribel Ortiz García –
The first person narrator, Bud, is perfectly drawn. He combines street smarts, pragmatism, emotional depth and naïvete, telling his story with an unsentimental simplicity that is simply endearing.
Victor the Reader –
Young Bud Caldwell’s story takes place during the Great Depression, as he lost his mother to illness and has been living in a foster family where he’s poorly treated. He makes the bold decision to escape them and go out on his own in Flint, Michigan to find the man who he believes might be his long lost father: famed jazz musician Herman E. Calloway. Along his travels, he’ll meet many interesting people and have his suitcase and list of unique rules that’ll help him.
Another incredible story from Curtis that has the same quirkiness as “The Watsons Go to Birmingham” but with a more emotional punch. Bud’s journey is full of surprises as he does whatever he can to find safety and the answers he looking for. When he does find them, it really change the story’s tone into a bittersweet one. In the end, it’s a wonderful story of growing up and never letting go of the memories of loved ones. A (100%/Outstanding)

A book every American, and other nationalities, should read,enjoy and take to heart. The lessons held within are deep rooted and will stay with you forever. A well written improvised story that is as musical as the protagonist and other characters within the book.

My 10 year old review:
I think children would like this book. I liked the subtle hints and surprises that the book gave the reader in the search for Mr. Calloway. The characters seemed to fit the era because of how they acted and talked. It made you feel like you were in Grand Rapids or Flint watching it all happen. My favorite part of the book was when Bud was in Lefty Lewis’s car for the first time and drank the red pop, it was so detailed it felt like watching a movie. I think this is a very well written children’s book and overall fun and interesting to read, that is why I recommend this book.
