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.
