I liked this book even better than Curtis' other Newbery Medal winner, The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963. Bud is a feisty ten-year-old orphan growing up in Flint, Michigan during the Great Depression. While escaping an abusive foster home, Bud encounters kindness in unusual places. Highly recommended for kids who are interested in history and social justice issues.
