This is a story set in the historical era known as the great depression. The character is an African American boy named Bud, who is an orphan in search of a man he thinks is his father. Bud was orphaned when his mother passed away unexpectedly from an illness. Bud knew he did not want to be at the orphanage, so he gos in search of his "father". During his search, he meets many interesting characters and has many new experiences. Some of them good and some of them bad.
I like how the entire novel was written in Bud's perspective. He had a unique way of looking at things. He carried around an old suitcase full of things that remind him of his wonderful life before his mom died. His suitcase also helped him determine his relationship with the man he thinks is his father.
When Bud finally catches up to the man he thinks is his father, he finds out that it is actually his grandfather. He takes Bud in and gives him a place to stay.
In our unstable world today, I think many children can relate to this story. So many kids come from bad circumstances, and I think Bud can be an example for them. He is resilient, sad, and tough. He knows what he wants and goes after it. It conveys the message to keep on trying!
