This is a pretty good book about a boy named Bud. Bud has no home and no mother ; he wants to find Herman E Calaway who he thinks is his father. When Bud finds Herman he discovers who Herman really is.
Bud was a pretty enjoyable, very easy read. I thought it was pretty predictable, and not a great example of what life was like during the depression, but it was a fun read. One of the best Newbery Award winners that I've read in a while.
