Bud, pas copain

Yoto Says: Meet Bud—a brave boy with a suitcase, a list of life rules, and a clue that might lead him to his father. His journey is tough, funny, and full of heart.

Embark on Bud's journey in this Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Award-winning classic about a boy's search for his father—written by Christopher Paul Curtis, author of The Watsons Go To Birmingham—1963. This book was awarded the Newbery and Coretta Scott King Honorees in 1964. It is set in 1936 in Flint, Michigan. Life may be tough for ten-year-old Bud, who is without a mother, but he has several advantages: 1. He has his own suitcase filled with special items. 2. He is the author of Bud Caldwell's Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself. 3. His mother never told him who his father was, but she left a clue: flyers advertising Herman E. Calloway and his famous band, the Dusky Devastators of the Depression! Bud believes these flyers will lead him to his father. Once he starts his journey, nothing can stop him—not hunger, not fear, not vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself.
