Summary: The four little girlsof 16th st baptist church
Review: I liked the book very much I feel that it gave us a good point of view when the bombing happened ,I was so into the book that it seems thatI was there and i felt the emotions that they felt between the time that Kenny heard the sound and when Kenny heard joey come in when he thought that the "wool pooh" was allowing her to go around for the last time to see the people that she loves.I also liked the comedy in it , it seems like some every day thing that happens in many people lives.Ithink people should pay the most attention to the part of the bombing because it gives a good point of view on how the african americans felt at the time and that we are no different from any other culture we all are sinners and no ones better than anyone.

Summary: watsons go to birmingham
Review: I thought it was great at time's with tons of differnt felling's including sad,happy,scary and, funny. i gave it a four becasue I think it needed a little more action at the first of the book. and i also feel sad about the 4 little girls that were killed at the church. my favorite part was when Kenny had the flashback of the "great dinosar war". I would recomend this book to someone loking for a book with mixed espersions Expression's and a sad ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bobo Brazil Meets the Sheik
Review: I think that this book was a great book for all ages to read. It's not only historical but histerical as well. It's got lots of funny scenes that will make you laugh so hard you'll have to go back and read it again. All the chapters are hilarious but my favorite was chapter 11 "Bobo Brazil Meets the Sheik". It's about the oldest son in the family, Byron, goes to live with his Grandmother Sands for the summer because he is getting into too much trouble in Flint. So after the long trip from Flint to Birmingham, they finally reach Grandma Sands. Kenny, the younger son, thinks that Byron is going to fight with and disrespect Grandma Sands just like he does his parents and everyone else. But when they get there, Byron cowards down and gives Grandma Sands a big hug and talks to her with respect. I like this chapter the most because it shows that Byron really can show respect to elders. I would reccommend this book to anyone who does or doesn't enjoy reading. After you read this book you will want to read more and more!

Summary: War And Peace Of The Watsons Trip
Review: This book is one of the most intresting I'v read. Because of this I'v tried to find more books by Christopher Paul Curtis. He is an intresting writer and this book had a blend of happieness and sadness. The fact that he based this book around the history of the boming and it was intresting and entertaining.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: And You Wonder Why We Get Called The Weird Wastons
Review: The rise I pick this chapter as a title because it was the funniest chapter. I that it was so funny because Bryon got his lip suck on the mirir on the Brown Bomer. I think this book would be good for other kids. I think that the story is good. I also think that this is the funniest thing I read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The life of Kenny
Review: My favoret part in the book was when Kenney heard about the bombing and he ran down the street to the church. I am realy glad that Joey seen that little boy that looked like Byron and she took off running. When Kenney got to the church he seen a black shoe sticking out of a rock and when he tried to pull it out somebody puloloed it in.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: the greatest adventure of watsons
Review: First it started it off really good very humerous how By got his lipps stuck to the mirror. also how they picked on Kenny! For exp.By and other kids that was kinda mean but, it happens evryday.When Larry-dunn picks on Rufus and the bus driver cursing him out.Larry got what was comming. Also when Larry gets beat up by Bryon I beleve Larry-Dunn got what was coming.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Lipless Wonder
Review: I enjoyed the first chapter of the book because it was very entertaning. It started off talking about how cold it is in Flint. Then it went on talking about how they could have been Hambone Hendersons. Later in this chapter was the most hilarious part when By got his name The Lipless Wonder. I thought it was odd that he was kissing the mirror. If I was asked if I would recommend this book I would have to say yes. It is a very entertaning book and you should read it.
