VillageProject | Apr 15, 2022 |  Great story -- Bud is a wonderful kid, making his way in the Depression in Michigan. He goes on a quest to find his father and finds much more than that. His rules for life are funny, and his irrepressible spirit is inspiring. (  ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | This book follows a young African American orphan in the Great Depression. He escapes his foster home and goes on a series of adventures until her meets the man he was looking for, who ends up being his grandfather. The book displays the hardships of the Great Depression as well as the hardships of being a young black man during that time. I would say that this would be a good book for 4th or 5th grade and up depending on a students reading level. ( ) Rachel_Sherwood | Mar 20, 2022 | This book was about an African American boy that was a part of the foster system. I think that this book would be great for 5th grade or middle school, and would be best to learn more about and have more empathy for children in different situations. In the end, this book was really great and very sad because it is very real, but it is a good story for children to read and learn from.
