In this classic, award-winning historical-fiction novel, we meet Bud, a ten-year-old. It is the Great Depression and times are hard. Especially when your only parent has died when you were six. But Bud has saved a few of his mom's special things, including flyers for a band featuring this one man. Maybe that's his dad! He decided to go and find him. I have read a lot of stories told from a child's perspective. None were as convincing as this. The language, the imagination, and the humor were so authentic, I fell in love with this polite young man and rooted for him the entire book. (FIC CUR)
