	Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		BUD, NOT BUDDY by Christopher Paul Curtis is written in the voice of Bud in his quest to find his father during the 1930’s.
		Curtis explains how to central characters Lefty Lewis and Herman Calloway were both based on his grandfathers.
		BUD, NOT BUDDY is a story that I think goes beyond grade levels, but I would probably suggest the reading as a class novel in middle school or in upper elementary school if it fit with a unit on the Depression.

		Barbara, I have read this book aloud to my students and received a fantastic reaction for me to "Keep reading, don't stop." They absolutely love the humor and could relate easily to the sibling rivalry.
		Along with it's humor, the book does highlight the issue of racism during the 1600's which sparks an interesting discussion group with 10 - 11 year olds.

	Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis
		Any editions listed to the right (such as "paperback") will link you to Amazon.com Bookstore where you can purchase the title.
		In this Newbery Award winning book we are asked to believe that a ten-year-old boy, without resources other than his own self-constructed list of rules "to Have a Funner Life and Make a Better Liar Out of Yourself", will find love, a home and a real family.
		Such is the skill of Christopher Paul Curtis that we take all that and more with hardly a nod toward the percentages.

	Recommended Adolescent Literature
		Soon the whole family is packed up, ready to make the drive from Flint, Michigan, straight into one of the most chilling moments in America's history: the burning of the Sixteenth Avenue Baptist Church with four little girls inside.
		Christopher Paul Curtis's alternately hilarious and deeply moving novel, winner of the Newbery Honor and the Coretta Scott King Honor, blends the fictional account of an African American family with the factual events of the violent summer of 1963.
		Fourth grader Kenny is an innocent and sincere narrator; his ingenuousness lends authenticity to the story and invites readers of all ages into his world, even as it changes before his eyes.
