Bud, Not Buddy

$14.54

This historical fiction novel teaches students about the Great Depression era while exploring themes of resilience, family, and identity.

Bud (like a plant, not short for ‘Buddy’, as he tells everyone) is a motherless boy on the run. He’s determined to find his father but doesn’t know where to start. The only clue he has is a bunch of flyers about Herman E. Calloway and his jazz band, the Dusky Devastators of the Depression.
