Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Amanda

I was reading this book in 4th grade, but it wasn't very fulfilling. Bud, Not Buddy was given the Newbery Award, but it doesnt deserve it. Bud, Not Buddy has a very stupid story line and turns out in a very uninteresting way.


Bud is a 10-year-old boy in the Great Depression. He lives in an orphanage. His mother died and left no trace of his father. However, he believes it is Herman Calloway as posted on papers his mother had. Bud runs away from the orphanage to finds him. On his way he finds many strange things!


I had no favorite parts, I didnt like this book. I recommend it for kids 10 and up. It is rated 1 star for boringness and no fun.
