Summary: A MUST READ
Review: I really enjoyed The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963 because Birmingham os where I was born and lived the first six years of my life. Another reason I love this book is because it reminds me of what my parents had to go through in Birmingham when they were children.
I liked the character Kenny because he sort of reminds me of myself. He is very determined to do things, and his brother and him do not get along very often.
The very best part of the book was when Kenny's brother, Byron got his tounge stuck to a mirror trying to kiss himself outside in snow.
Mainly the story is about Byron, who is not a good child and gets sent to his grandmothers house in Birmingham, Alabamama. Kenny's younger sister, Joetta to church one Sunday. Later on everyone hears a very loud bomb. Kenny runs down to the church and thinks he sees the Wool Pooh, a make believe character his brother made up. Joetta sees Kenny and follows him home.
I think this book really is a must read. I loved it very much.

Summary: A real page turner
Review: I enjoyed this book because usually I would be in a hurry to put a book down but this I could not put it down. I also enjoyed this book because some parts were hilarious.
I liked the main character Byron Watsons because he was a hilarous person in this story. He also was a person who spoke his mind.
The best part of the book was when Byron got his lips stuck to the car rear view mirror while trying to kiss his refliction. That was when byron became a problem.
I loved the ending of the book it has a humble ending and it pulls the family closer together.

Summary: A Roller Coaster Ride
Review: The Watson's Go to Birmingham - 1963 is the story of a strong family living in Flint, MI. After one too many antics from the oldest son, the decide to take him to his grandmother in Birmingham.My two sons (10 & 12) found it difficult to get into this story. Once they did, they were hooked. They enjoyed:
* the lively and well formed characters and their adventures,
* relating the experiences of the Watson's to their experiences,
* learning about the African American culture,
* the obvious affection between the family members,
* the stories quick pace and the relavance to their own lives,
The last several chapters were similar to the beginning. They took some time to think about, but presented the whole picture. A good book for pleasure and increased understanding of a vital part of the American culture and history.
