In chapter 1-5 of //Bud Not Buddy,// the main character, Bud, is in an orphanage. He is told there is a family that will take him in. He is not very excited about it. He gets there and ends up having quite a run-in with the son, Todd Amos. Bud decides that he needs to leave the Amos', but he can't go back to the orphanage. Soon, he befriends a family who pretends he is theirs, so he can have food at a shelter. He is still trying to find a place to stay and has to sleep under a tree when we finish chapter 5. (Heather)
