Bud, not Buddy is about the adventure of a boy named Bud as he tries to find his father who he believes is Herman E. Calloway who lives in Grand Rapids. The book is interesting and it made me really care about what happened to Bud. I like how the book uses fictional characters to describe how life would be like during the Great Depression. Bud thinks that his father is Herman because of the pictures his mother left behind when she passed away. I won't spoil the ending, but the ending is really satisfying and hopeful for the future of Bud.
