![]() ![]() Bud speaks with some distinct grammar errors that a boy his age would make. I think Curtis is adept at creating authentic voice for his young characters. It's through relationships that history becomes relevant in Curtis' work. Rather, I think his aim was to illustrate the connection between history at-large and our personal histories. While the story was set in the Great Depression, I don't think Curtis' primary goal was to teach history. What I like about Curtis' work is his ability to make history accessible through personal stories of very young characters. She did leave clues and after being mistreated by his last foster family, Bud takes off to find his dad. She did her best to prepare Bud for the world, but what she wouldn't share was who his father was. She read to him and was very attentive to her son. ![]() We're not sure how his mother died, but according to Bud it was sudden and without pain. There are some really good, in-depth reviews by fellow members so I'll be brief about the summary and share more why I enjoyed the story. ![]()
