Helpful Score: 1
Absolutely deserving of all its many awards (including the Newbery), this is a wonderful story of a 10-year old boy who runs away from a foster home and sets out to find his father. It is 1936 in Flint, Michigan, and times are hard for everyone, but particularly for blacks. Told in Bud's poignant voice and full of his hard-earned young wisdom, this snapshot of life during the Depression is a must-read for all young people.
