Delightful and heart-warming, this book is another feel-good, hurray for the underdog, farfetched kind of story we all need now and then. |

Can you imagine growing up without your mother and not knowing who your real father was? Bud Not Buddy is a book a about a young boy who has no parents and is still in search of his father. Bud adventures across the state meeting new and peculiar people while in search for the man who he believes to be his father. Bud Not Buddy keeps you entertained with all the drama that this young child is going through.
This book is very descriptive and gives great detail about the places and people Bud visits. Bud Not Buddy presents itself with real life examples and enough description so that you're able to picture what Bud is seeing. As evidence, "The cooler was drenched with bags of blood and blood stained ice,". A book like this puts you right in Bud's shoes.
Bud Not Buddy targets audiences of all ages, from teens to young adults. The entire book has easy and understandable words keeping you from stumbling. Bud goes through tough times, so this storyline is appropiate for mature teens and young adults. The amount of emotion in this book might be too much for younger kids. For example, "My mom died when I was little" this might be something to overwhelming for younger children to imagine. Teens and young adults will understand and enjoy this book.
Emotion is shown throughout this book. In the beginning of the book you're sad because you find out what Bud is living through and in the end the whole mood of the story changes to a much happier mood. Seeing Bud fight and strive towards his goal is what makes Bud Not Buddy a motivational book.
Bud's determination to find his beloved lost father moves you as you read about his effort and perserverance. |
