Hit the road with Bud in this Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Award-winning classic about a boy on a journey to 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 may be a motherless boy on the run, but Bud’s got a few things going for him: 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: flyers advertising Herman E. Calloway and his famous band, the Dusky Devastators of the Depression!!!!!! Bud’s got an idea that those flyers will lead him to his father. Once he decides to hit the road to find this mystery man, nothing can stop him—not hunger, not fear, not vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself. “[A] powerfully felt novel.” — The New York Times

タフで希望がいっぱい
世界恐慌の時代のアメリカ。 母親を亡くして孤児院にいたBudは、10歳の時に裕福な里親に引き取られるが、 初日に酷い目に合わされ、その家を飛び出す。 多すぎる孤児の数にパンク状態の孤児院には帰りたくないBudは、 母親が大切にしていたバンドのチラシに載っている、父親と思われる人を探すことを決心し、 母親の思い出の詰まった古いスーツケースを片手に、ひとり歩き出す。 恐慌と人種差別の中で生きる厳しいはずの状況にもかかわらず、 Budも、Budが出会う人たちも、全然悲壮感はなくて、タフで、希望があって、読んでてすごく楽しいです。

A book every American, and other nationalities, should read,enjoy and take to heart. The lessons held within are deep rooted and will stay with you forever. A well written improvised story that is as musical as the protagonist and other characters within the book.
