He holds all the remnants of his once loving home in a cardboard suitcase: some flyers advertising Herman E.
He belongs right in there with Maniac Magee ( ) and others of their ilk who enlighten the human experience for readers and make us wish we could step into the action to help.īud's mother has been dead for four years when this novel opens and Bud is in an orphanage. Meet Bud, not Buddy, one of the most delightful young people you'll ever know. Such is the skill of Christopher Paul Curtis that we take all that and more with hardly a nod toward the percentages.
