Bud is a beer to be drank with a buddy. Its not everybody's beer no not these days of beer kaleidoscope offerings. When the Bud drinker buys the beer he calls his buddy and tells him "this Buds for you.
In 1936, during the Great Depression, 10-year-old Budd Caldwell lives in the orphanage in Flint, Michigan that has been his home since his mother died when he was six. Because of his mother's death, Bud had no family members near to him, and was sent to live in the local orphanage, which he calls "The Home". He hates the orphanage, but his situation does not improve when he is sent to live with a foster family, the Collins, who prove to be abusive. Todd Collins, the Collins' twelve year old son, abuses Bud harshly, including shoving a pencil up Bud's nose and accusing him of bed wetting, which Mrs. Amos, the leader of discipline in the family, despises. To punish him, the Collins lock Bud up in a shed, which is filled with many terrors including sharp-toothed fish and a hornets nest, giving him a night full of frights and injuries. Eventually, Bud escapes the shed and goes back to the house to gather his things. Before he leaves, however, Bud attempts to make Todd wet his bed to get even. After unsuccessfully trying to put Todd's hand in a glass of warm water that was just a bit too small, Bud just pours the glass of water over Todd's pajama pants, finally resulting in Todd wetting the bed.
Later, Bud sets off in search of his father, who he has never met. The journey is wrought with narrow escapes, including being rescued just barely from the uniformly prejudiced town of Owosso by "Lefty Lewis". He undertakes this journey to find Herman E. Calloway, who he believes to be his father, and is currently living in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His only clue is a flyer advertising a jazz band that used to belong to Bud's mother, Angela Janet Caldwell. Bud aims for "Herman E. Calloway and the Dusky Devastators of the Depression", convinced that this is the man he is looking for.
Upon arriving at the establishment where Herman E. Calloway and his band are playing, Bud begins to tell his story . All the band members laugh at his statement but take sypathy for him because he's an Orphan and let him join the band. Soon, he is driven to Calloway and the band's house, where he looks around and finds several pictures of his mother. Bud notices, however, that Herman E. Calloway is far too old to be his father. Bud's mother turned out to be Herman E. Calloway's daughter, who had run away, and the man in the picture, who bud believes to be his dad is his grandfather.
The story is ready a motherless 10 years ancient boy who is watching for a mysteries man that he thinks is his father. And after alongside trip it seems the mysteries man is his grandfather
