Bud, Not Buddy Audiobook (Free)

The Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Award-winning classic about a boy who decides to hit the road to find his father-from Christopher Paul Curtis, writer of The Watsons HEAD TO Birmingham-1963, a Newbery and Coretta Scott King Honoree.

It’s 1936, in Flint Michigan. Times may be hard, and ten-year-old Bud may be a motherless boy away from home, but Bud’s got a few things choosing him:

1. He provides his own suitcase full of special things.

2. He’s the author of Bud Caldwell’s Rules about Bud, Not really Buddy and Things for Having a Funner Lifestyle and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself.

3. His momma under no circumstances told him who his dad was, but she still left a idea: flyers advertising Herman E. Calloway and his famous music group, the Dusky Devastators from the Depression!!!!!!

Bud’s got a concept that those flyers will business lead him to his dad. Once he decides going to the road to find this mystery man, nothing can stop him-not hunger, not fear, not really vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself.
