=Bud, Not Buddy =



Welcome to our Literature Circle Wiki for Bud, Not Buddy. Christopher Paul Curtis begins this depression-era story in Flint, Michigan at a time when the entire nation was suffering economic hardship. Through this story, which is based in part on experiences and stories shared by his grandfathers, we come to imagine what life might have been like for a young boy orphaned at the age of six who seeks out a grandfather he has never met during the depths of the depression.
