Bud, Not Buddy, by Christopher Paul Curtis is about a boy named Bud Caldwell who is motherless, and has no idea where his father is. Life is rough for him in the foster home(s), for he isn't treated with much respect. One day, he is sent to another foster home, and that became the final straw.
Buddy and Ritchie are now part of the American mythology, and so urban legends abound. No, Ritchie did not have a phobia against flying. In fact, he wanted to take the plane from the Mason City Airport. Other (false) stories are the plane on their final flight was named American Pie, and the height of absurdity, that Buddy shot the pilot.
