Customer Reviews

One of the best books I have ever read.

"The Legend of Buddy Bush" is indeed one of the best books I have ever read. There are not enough good books for our children to read and this one is at the top of my list. Pattie Mae is smart and a character that we all can relate to.

A Touching Book!

The Legend of Buddy Bush was one of the Best Books I have ever read. It teaches love, understanding, life, and loss. Shelia P. Moses really captures the reader. I couldn't put the book down and I thought it was wonderful. When I finished, I wished I hadn't because I loved it and I think that it really led me to understand how things were "back then."A wonderfully compelling tale.
