Review: I just finished a book by Christopher Paul Curtis called Bud, Not Buddy and it was excellent. I liked it because it was about a black, ten year old boy who was on the run during the Great Depression. In the beginning, Bud is living in a foster home. He is sent to live with a family but they are mean to him so he runs away and sleeps in the library. Then he and his friend try to jump a train. If you want a great and also an interesting book, than Bud, Not Buddy is the right book for you.

He and his friend Bugs were picked to live in foster home. The only thing is their not going to the same foster home they are being split up. Bud is going to the Amos family, aand he sees problems with the new brother going to have Todd Amos.

Summary: a must read book
Review: I liked this book because of the way it is set and what is going on.I also liked this book because it makes me laugh a lot.My favorite character was Bud because he was very funny and brave.I also liked Bud because of what he did to Tom Amos when he left the house.My favorite part of the book was when he poured the hot water on Tom Amos's lap. The reason why that is my favorite part is because it reminds me of something one of my friends did. I think it was funny when he thought that Lefty Lewis was a vampire in the car going down the street. One more reason why i liked the book was because when he set a goal he would not give up until he accomplished it. I thought that the ending was very good.

Review: Bud Not Buddy is about a boy named Bud who lives in a foster home because his mom died. Bud runs away from his home to look for his dad because he does not know who he is. This book is an adventurous expedition for Bud to find his dad. I liked this book because Bud is a wonderful character and another reason is it sort of teaches you a little bit about life such as it teaches you if you want to do something all you have to do is set your mind to it. My favorite part of the book is when he is at his foster home, him and his foster brother Todd Amos got into fights and Bud ended up having to sleep out in a shack everynight. That is when Bud's adventure began. The ending turns out to be very different than Bud figured, but I am not going to tell you what happens. You can read Bud Not Buddy and figure out yourself.

Summary: One Good Book
Review: I liked this book because it kept you guessing to see if he would ever find his dad.Bud,not Buddy had alot of courage. Bud's mom had died and his dad left them when he was young.
Bud had been living in an orpahnage and he was adopted to a family with a spoiled son. He ran away to go find his father. My favorite charater was Bud.I liked the way he had his own rules for life. He never gave up looking for his dad. My favorite part of the book is when Bud runs away from his adopted family. The ending of the book was a surprise to me. He finds someone related to him but is it his dad?
