I am currently reading the book “Bud, not Buddy.” The main character’s name is Bud, but many people mistake his name as Buddy. According to the book his life is really tough and these reasons will explain why. First of all, his life is in a orphanage known as “the Home.” Then he is sent to a foster home and is having a miserable time there at the Amos’ house with the 12 year old son and parents.Also, he has gone to 3 temporary foster homes and the Amos’ hospitality is the 4th. Bud is 10 years old and he has been in the “Home” for about 4 years because his mother died when he was 6. According to the the book “I knocked on Momma’s bedroom door, then I found her”🤧😰. Before Bud’s mother died she was very upset by a blue piece of paper with a picture of a man playing a “giant fiddle” named Flint. That lead to a suspicion that Flint was Bud’s father. Bud also carries around a big leather suitcase with many “valuable” items that belong to him.
