historical fiction for me, it's 85% of the time entertaining. and this one was no different. at times it was a little bit slow but the funny times made up for it. this one was so good.
A very sweet story, perhaps too tidy an ending but well done nevertheless.
I loved this book! Top notch characters, especially Bud and his foster parents and Herman E. Calloway.
Bud's mother has died, leaving his with a suitcase full of flyers advertising the amazing band of Herman E. Calloway. When another time in foster care ends up with Bud locked in a shed, Bud decides it is time to seek out Herman E. Calloway, who he feels must be his elusive father. Herman E. Calloway turns out to be one tough cookie and not at all what Bud had hoped for, but, in a roundabout way, everything works out in the end.
