Summary: Dont Let Your Dreams Slip
Review: I like Bud Not Buddy. I'd give it a 5 star. In this story a boy named Bud has a rough life.When he was 6 years old, his mother died. Buds father was nowhere to be found. Bud had to search for his father. He started to think it was a jazz player,HermanE.Calloway. On his way to finding his father, he made a girlfreind, named Dessa Malon in Hooverville. Then he went back out to search for his father. He met Lefty Lewis(who he thought was a vampire) and tried to take off with his car. When he finally met his father (or so he thought), he was mean. I recomend this book for anyone because it has a little bit for everyone.

Summary: Never Give Up On Your Dreams.
Review: Bud, Not Buddy is a novel that Christopher Paul curris wrote. Mr.Curtis used people that he knew in real life. Bud, Not Buddy is a novel that can and will influence anyone and everyone after you read it. I know it influenced me and my classmates. The way this story influenced me is how Bud never gave up on his dreams. Also the way he goes from Flint, Michigan, to Grand Rapids, Michigan, in search of his father. But before he left on his amazing journey, he stays with his foster family Mr. and Mrs. Amos and their son Todd Amos. He runs away by the way the Amos family treats him. After he goes aways, he runs into Lefty Lewis. He stays with Lefty Lewis's family until he meets Herman E. Callaway who he believes is his real father.

Summary: Where else can you find Union organizers explained to kids?
Review: A beautifully conceived novel. With great skill the author Christopher Paul Curtis describes Bud's hardships during the worst of the Great Depression in America. Characters are each and all delicately rendered. Bud is a believable 10-year-old boy. While resourceful and cunning, he is never simplified into something cute or "spunky". For every action, Bud's responses are believable. When Bud attempts to escape from Lefty in the man's car because he suspects he's a vampire, this is a believable response. Some might criticize the overtly positive feelings behind this story. Bud never suffers directly from racism in the book, though some vague references are made to it. The violence done to him might also be considered slapstick. But the sheer goodwill generated by this novel keeps it above these minor concerns. "Bud, Not Buddy" is a well-rendered book. It is excellent for presenting to large groups, though I would consider pairing it with other intelligent books that deal more directly with the Jazz age and some of the problems of the 30s.
