On... Bud, not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

I absolutely loved this book! While I did not learn anything new about the historical time period, the Great Depression, I loved seeing it through a different perspective, that of an African American boy.

Bud has a great sense of wit, devising rules for getting through life and not making a fool of himself. These rules, interspersed in the text of the story, are absolutely hilarious!

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves to read!
