It's 1936 Flint, Michigan. Times may be hard, and
10-year-old Bud may be a motherless boy, but Bud's got a few
things going for him: 1. He has his own suitcase full of
special things; 2. He's the author of "Bud Caldwell's Rules
and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar
Out of Yourself"; 3. His momma never told him who his father
was, but she left a clue: posters of Herman E. Calloway and
his band of renown, the Dusky Devastators of the Depression.
Bud is sure those posters will lead him to his father. Once
he decides to hit the road, nothing can stop him, not
hunger, not fear, not would-be vampires, not even Herman E.
Calloway himself.
