Bud, Not Buddy
By: Christopher Paul Curtis
Until reading this story, I had a hard time relating to characters within books. Although Bud and I have not gone through the same trials and tribulations in life, we share one common trait: determination. With Bud being an orphan and trying to find his place here in this "big" world, the story becomes very easy to relate to. At one point in time, we all fight to find our place in the world. We have all felt like an orphan, that is 'alone' in some sense.
It also shows what life was like back in the time period of depression. It's a great book to give children insight on exactly what was going on. While Bud and his story are not based on facts, they are based on similar stories. That in itself is very interesting.
This is honestly one book you can't put down. You can't help falling in love with this story.
