Bud, Not Buddy is a book for teens I would think because it has a lot of lifestyles they had down south. Bud is a foster child and so is his friend Bugs. One day they got adopted and Bugs was going to a whole family of three girls and Bud was going to a horrible place with a single child named Todd and Bud did not like the picture of this because Todd is a trouble maker. My favorite quote in the book involves Bud and Bugs. I spit a big glob of slob in his hand and said, "We're brothers forever, Bugs." That quote is the one when they are about to leave to their foster families. Later, when Bud gets to his foster family, the first step into their house bud does not like the look of it. This whole book is based on Bud trying to find his Dad and the only evidence he has is the picture he has of his Dad in the Jazz band. So in Todds room Todd starts to bully Bud and in the book it says Todd took a Ticonderoga pencil and stook it up his nose on the eraser part and put it up his nose till the "R."Bud later got his revenge and then ran away.
