BY: MORGAN #29

In this 236 paged book, Bud, not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis, a 10 year old boy goes son a search for his father. The boy, Bud looks for his father and finds his grandfather, Herman E. Calloway! The problem is Bud wants to find his father who left his mom and him. Bud's mother passed away four years ago when he was six. Bud remembers his mother getting mad when looking at a couple of flyers that he has with him. The man playing the cello on the flyer is who Bud thinks his father is. Later in the story, Bud finds the man in the flyer, Herman, thinking HE is his father, but finds out then that Herman's his grandfather. Bud, not Buddy's main conflict would be Character vs. Character because Mr. Lefty gets in his way.
Mister Lefty Lewis is who causes the main conflict to be Character vs. Character. When Bud is traveling to Grand Rapids, a man named Lefty Lewis picks him up and takes him back to Flint where Bud just left. Bud lies and says he ran away from Grand Rapids so Mr. Lefty would want to take him back to what he thinks is Bud's home. WHen in Grand Rapids, Bud finds Herman E. Calloway. The moral of the book would be, family is very important even if they live in a different town or even in Heaven. Family will always be with you on the inside. I would personaly reccomend this book for anyone ready to go on a journey in Bud, not Buddy!
