I am only thirteen years old and I don' read too often,but this book just won't let me stop.It's got cliff hangers. I got it a week ago and I am already on chapter 17,and I am a real slow reader.

The Great Book
I loved the book Bud not Buddy, at first I was not so sure how I was going to like it. I love learning about things from the past weather it be 5,000 years ago or 40! I think I learned a lot from this book, like if you try hard enough you will find what you are looking for. Just like Bud he is trying so hard to find his dad because he believes that he is out there somewhere! It was the best book I have read so far!
