The Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Award-winning beloved classic is now a full-color graphic novel. Meet Bud, a plucky young boy who decides to hit the road to find his father in this irresistibly illustrated graphic novel with humor, tenderness, and comic panels and art on every page.

It’s 1936, in Flint, Michigan. Times may be hard, and ten-year-old Bud may be a motherless boy on the run, but he’s got a few things going for him:
 

1. He has his own suitcase full of        special things.

​

2. He’s the author of Bud Caldwell’s   Rules and Things for Having a      Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself.

​

3. His momma never told him who    his father was, but she left a clue: flyers advertising Herman    E. Calloway and his famous band, the Dusky Devastators of the        Depression!!!!!!
