Where was this story taken place and in what year?
by Andrea Rossignol
This story takes place in the 1930’s during the great depression. Bud is living in a foster home in Flint Michigan. After leaving his foster home, bud travels to Grand Rapids to find his father who is in a band called Herman E. Calloway and the Dusky Devastator's of the Great Depression. Along the way of bud's travels we see how he lived on his own and we find out who Herman E. Calloway really is.
I think the time period (1930) is very important in this book. Like you said it was set during the great depression which was a very difficult time and it was very hard to find jobs. That's why the band was so lucky to be well known so that they have a decent income.
