Hitthe road with Bud in this NewberyMedal and Coretta Scott King Award-winning classic about a boy on a journeyto find his father—from Christopher Paul Curtis,
recipient of the Coretta Scott King–Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement.

It’s 1936, in Flint Michigan. Times may be hard, and ten-year-old Bud maybe a motherless boy on the run, but Bud’s got a few things going forhim:

1. He has his own suitcase full of special things.
2. He’s the author of Bud Caldwell’s Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself.
3. His momma never told him who his father was, but she left a clue: flyersadvertising Herman E. Calloway and his famous band, the Dusky Devastators ofthe Depression!!!!!!

Bud’s got an idea that those flyers will lead him to his father. Once hedecides to hit the road to find this mystery man, nothing can stop him—nothunger, not fear, not vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself.
