This book has won the "Coretta Scott King Award", and it certainly deserves it as well as many others. This story would make a wonderful T.V. play or movie. I got the book thinking it would be something my elementary aged grandkids could read. But I decided to read it myself first. That's when I discovered that the material is probably better suited to older readers. I just fell in love with the character, "Bud, not Buddy". He's such a little trooper and so brave in the face of all he has to confront in life. And through it all he's so funny with his fear of closet monsters and rules to live by. It's an easy read and it won't be time wasted.
