Vinny Bud is a story mostly about friendship. Bud, who is 10 years old and his 28 year old Mom, recently divorced, move to a new town for a fresh start. The halarious adventures begin when Bud meets Vinny and they become friends. Vinny lives with his older brother, Bill, aged 16, and his grandpa, a veteran of WWII who not only is senile, but prone to flashbacks from the war. A lot of Vince's experiences growing up have been used in this book as well as the day to day experiences of the youth of today which keeps the humour fresh and hip. Vinny and Bud go from adventure to adventure on their skateboards and the fun never stops.
