Review: I think that the Watsons go to Birmingham is a great book. It tells how African-Americans were discriminated agianst back then. Byron one of the characters is a juvenile delinquent who always gets in trouble. Kenny is the narrator who is very smart,nice, and has a lazy eye. Joetta is the little sister to Kenny and Byron who is also known as Joey. The Watsons go to birmingham is a great book that really makes you think about how blacks were discriminated back then.

Review: This book is so cool! i was laughing out loud! we read as a class and at first it looked stupid.... but after i read the first couple of chapters i fell in love! it was a graet book! my fav part was when rufus got on the bus and said... Hiya Yall!
I would reccomend this book. Byron reminded me of my big bro... cept different. My bro can be mean but is really nice! kenny.. i dont know a kenny. Joey was really cute!! she was always tryin to protect her big bro but doesnt realize he doesnt need it! Byron makes up funny stories. like the frozen southern folks! and the WOOL POOH (winnie's twin)!! it was funny to when byron killed the dove and got sick and cried a little! If u have not read the book READ IT! u will not regret it!

Review: This book was great! I loved every minute of it. Our entire class read it and we all enjoyed it very much. My favorite part was when Byron got a conk. At first I thought that Dad was going to whip him or ground him. Instead he shaved his head!!! LOL! :>D!! Byron was told that he was going to stay with Grandma Sands this summer. Byron is my favorite character of the book because of his multiple personalities.

Review: At the begining the Watsons are not very series, they joke around alot and the mood of the story is happy. Byron, the oldest kid in the family is a juvenile deliquent and he wants to be cool. Kenny the middle aged child is well behaved and he respects the rules. Byron is always getting in trouble so his parents decide to take him to Birmingham to to stay with Gradnma Sands so she can straightren him up. This story takes place during 1963 so there is alot of discrimination going on. When there Byron starts to behave and Kenny starts to act up. When Joey goes to Church a bomb blows up there and four young girls are killed. The Family decides to go back to Flint, Michigan because they want to be a more close family. I enjoyed reading this book because it helped me understand how hard it was for Black famlies during this time.

Review: The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 is a very good book. I enjoyed it. It is one of those were you have to think and sometimes come up with you own conclusions. You should probably know that the Watsons are a black family. In the begining the Watson are a very relaxed family. THe trouble maker in the family is being sent to Birmingham, Alabama from his home town of Flint, Michigan. When down in Birmingham things get sturred up. One of the churhes gets boomed and on of the Watsons was in the church. The Watsons go to Birmingham has a good story to tell. It tell how tight I family can be and what could make all the changes in your life. This book showed me how it was to be black in the south at this time. You never know when you are safe. It all ends happy. You will have fun reading this book. I hope you enjoy it as well I as did.

Summary: The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963
Review: The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963 is an awesome book. The story is told by the eyes of a boy named Kenneth Watson. He and his family, Byron, Joetta, mom and dad live in freezing Flint. They decide to go to Birmingham because of Byron's behavior. Byron was pretending to make a movie called Nazi Parachutes Attack America and Get Shot Down over the Flint River by Captain Byron Watson and his Flame-thrower of Death. He made a lot of toilet paper parachutes and would light them with matches and then drop them into the toilet and hear the go whoosh when it hit the water. The main setting in this book is in Birmingham and in the Watson's house. While at Birmingham the kids learned a lot about the cruel world back then. One of the things that they learned was that some and most whites hate black and will do anything to stop them from getting a good education. Even blow them up if that is a choice. Which it was a choice during the Civil Rights movement. One day when Joey was going to Sunday school, she got there and decided not to go since it was so hot. A couple of minutes later a group of white men drove by and threw a bomb into the church and injured and killed many little kids. This book was an awesome book and I recommend this book to everyone young to old. I feel that it would be a great thing for people to read it was funny, sad, and happy and almost every emotion you could think of. I hope you get something out of this review and enjoy this book as much as I did.

Review: I think that this book was petty go. It just tells a good story about a good family that had some hard times back back in 1963. I like stories like this because it tells you information about those times when they were in the civil rights age of there time. I also liked this story because it was funny and it made you want to laugh.
