Bud Not Buddy Sparknotes

"There comes a time," sighed Bud. In the book Bud Not Buddy, the main character, Bud goes through many hard times. After his momma died when he was six, he was sent to an orphanage. From there he was sent to a terrible foster home where he was treated horribly. He then set off on a quest seeking his father. He went through extremely hard challenges before eventually finding his grandfather instead.
