Former North Battleford resident band retired teacher Kenneth William Budd was in North Battleford last week on a book tour marking the completion of the fourth of a four-book series for young reader readers. The series is written in the juvenile fiction genre, appropriate for Grades 5 through 9, and each book has an accompanying study guide to be used in the classroom. The series is entitled The Adventures of Buddy Williams, is set in a city not unlike North Battleford, with a present day component tying into the storyline which takes place in the 1950's. Budd was at Crandleberry's Monday for a signing session and at the North Battleford Library Tuesday for a reading attended by two classes from Connaught School. Born in North Battleford, Budd spent his first 14 years here before moving to Brooks, Alta. He now lives in the Sunshine Coast area of British Columbia. His four books are titled SummerWild, FallGently, WinterFree and SpringRush. The Adventures of Buddy Williams are available for purchase at Crandleberry’s in North Battleford and from Chapters Online. More information about the series, including student guides and bonus activities for the books, are available at www.summerwild.ca.Photos by Jayne Foster
