Bud is staying with this family who knows who buddies father is. He then takes Buddy to find his father. He then is at a place who thinks he is his father.I would recommend the book to people. Bud was living with this one family. Bud talked about his dad and the man who he was staying with ‘’Lefty Lewis’’ knew who Buddies dad was. Lefty drove Bud to where his father was. Bud finds a man who he thinks he is his father.It was a good book. It was a good adventure book.
