Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Joey S.

I would say, one of the greatest, maybe THE greatest book I've ever read in middle school. Definitely a good page turner. I loved the story, and all the certain scenes. Like when Bud ran away from his foster home after he beat up his "brother" Todd Amos and was locked in the shade full of fish heads, newspaper covered windows, and a "bat". The scenes between that and when Bud meets his father are GREAT, like every part of the book, but the excitement really builds up as Bud tries to get to know his father while he gives Bud the cold shoulder. Calloway's friends in his band immedietly befriend Bud, and try to convince him to do the same, but he just isn't convinced that Bud is his son, until he shows him an item of his mother's. VERY good story!! I can't key out all the really good parts, you'll just have to read it to see!!
