Hit the road with Bud in this Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Award-winning classic about a boy on a journey to find his father--from Christopher Paul Curtis, author of The Watsons Go To Birmingham--1963, a Newbery and Coretta Scott King Honoree.

It's 1936, in Flint Michigan. Times may be hard, and ten-year-old Bud may be a motherless boy on the run, but Bud'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

Bud's got an idea that those flyers will lead him to his father. Once he decides to hit the road to find this mystery man, nothing can stop him--not hunger, not fear, not vampires, not even Herman E. Calloway himself.

" A] powerfully felt novel." --The New York Times

Will purchase again & again ✨
Color: Glistening Bronze #03, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this product so much! I don’t know what TJ other reviews are talking about by saying it doesn’t last long - when I apply this, it lasts all day. I did a darker shade than I thought I should but that worked out great because it makes me look tanner and makes my skin look so shiny, glittery, and even. For the price, you can’t beat this product. I get excited to put it on! Do yourself a favor & get this. You deserve to feel pretty and shiny :)

Gorgeous summer glow anytime
Color: Glistening Bronze #03, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The body shimmer is like being kissed by warm summer breeze a glow of star dust. It lights not sticky or tacky. It gloriously luxurious but simple way to step a look.

Cute, Smells like Chemicals
Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Rose Gold #01, Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Looks great but transfers easily. I liked the shade and how the glitter was visible but not distracting. I wasn’t fond of how it smelled but I covered the scent with my sunscreen and I didn’t notice afterwards. Smells like a chemical like scent but it was worth the value I paid for. Good as a highlighter, to add a touch of glow to the face. You can’t see it under foundation but it’s cute on the cheek bones to give a make up less look on a sunny day. The brush is also good quality.
