summary9-10

In chapters 9-10 Bud goes to the Library to see how far away Grand Rapids is. He finds out it would take around 24 hours to get there if he walked. So he started that night so nobody would see him. Cars came and went but one car spotted him. The man in the car stopped to see if there really was a boy there. Then he sees Bud and tempted him with food to come over to him. Next he asked him where he was from and who he was. Bud told him his name but said that he was from Grand Rapids. So he put Bud in his car to take him "home." But as the man walks to the drivers side of the car, Bud saw a box that said "human blood." Bud freaked out and pressed the gas, which jerked the car down the road! -Caroline
