Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

fast-paced

5.0

I read this in middle school, came back to it over 15 years later and it's just as charming as it was then. It's a fantastic historical fiction with a clear-voiced, headstrong protagonist you can't help but love. I adore this book so much - despite the heavy subject matter, it's optimistic and full of heart. It's a great read for readers of any age.
