Summary: Nicki's Review of The Watsons Go To Birmingham
Review: It's a great family book to read and share together! Filled with humor,sadness and anticipation. The Watsons spend the summer with Grandma in Birmingham, Alabama and are almost frozen in the cold. I thought this book was great. It's great for ages 9- young adults.

Summary: Kelley's Review
Review: This story I'm about to right is about the Watsons. The name of the book I read is The Watsons go to Birmingham - 1963. The story is based on a family, Mamma ,Daddy , Byron , Kenny , and Joetta. Mamma has a gap in her teeth, Daddy is always working on the brown bomber, Byron loves to get in trouble, Kenny has a lazy eye, and Joetta is the sweet little baby.
This story is based on how it was for Black African Americans in the 1960's. The Watsons live in Flint, Michigan. They are from Birmingham. They go to Birmingham because mom and dad have had enough of Byron messing around. They want him to spend the summer in Birmingham with Grandma Sands. They all go down and stay with Grandma. Something happens to Joey that will change Kenny forever.
I think this is a really good book to read because you really get a lot out of it. I got that family is more important than you think. I really like this book and I think you will too.

Summary: The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963
Review: If you like funny and dramatic stories you will love this book.

There are six characters : there is Byron-who thinks he is Daddy-Cool, Joetta-who loves helping people out; especially Byron, Kenny-who likes to go on adventures and is not too popular in school, Momma-who has a space in her teeth, Dad-who loves his car: The Brown Bomber, and Grandma Sands-who is a tiny woman who when she cries and says my wonderful family she says my wunnerful, fambly.

Everyone knew Byron wasn't what you call a good kid but no one did anything until now. He got to be so bad he had to go to his Grandmother's house in Birmingham, Alabama for the summer. Momma and Dad didn't want him to go alone on a trane so the whole family went with him.

I thought this book was fantastic, because it had alot of cool, kind of weird things about it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Watsons go to Burmingham 1963 by Mariah
Review: The Watsons go to Birmingham 1936 is a great book. See there are 5 main characters Momma, Dad, Joey, Kenny, and Byron. At the begining of the book, By is a trouble maker but as the book goes on he gets worse. At first he gets his tongue stuck to the car mirror. But one thing is weird about Byron some times he is nice to Kenny some times he isn't. I think By has mood swings. Kenny on the other hand is a nice kid who if he is in trouble his big brother Byron will help him. Joey is their little sis. She is not bad but just a tattle tale. One day mom and dad got tired of By being bad they wanted to send him to Birmingham, but they change there mind. So this book is full of action that is why I like it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963
Review: The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963 is a heart-warming book about a 5 person family from Flint, Michigan nicknamed the "The Wierd Watsons". If you like laughing, and other not as funny situations in a book, then you'll love this. It's about the Watsons who live in Flint, Michigan and who send Byron, a 13 year old delinqeunt, to Birmingham, Alabama for the summer. The family has 5 people, Wilona, Daniel(momma and dad) Kenny, Byron, and Joetta. There's also Grandma Sands in Alabama. Towards the end of the book it gets kind of depressing and you'll find out why, you've got to read the book to find out why. This is a very good book and I would give Christopher Paul Curtis 4 stars

Summary: The Watsons go to Birmingham 1963
Review: This book is about a family that lives in Flint, Michigan. Thier neighbors in Flint called them the Weird Watsons and you will find out why.
The family has five people in it. There is Momma that has a toothless smile, Dad that has a car called the Brown Bomber. Joey who is very sweet and trys to help Bryon stay out of trouble, Kenny who sees the wool pooh, and Bryon 13 and gets in trouble all the time.
Bryon and Kenny go outside one day to get ice off the car. Bryon gets his lips stuck to a mirror. At the school there is a bully who takes stuff that is not his. Then one day they go to Birmingham to see Grandma Sands.
Finally, I think this book is good because it has a lot of action. I think you should read this book because it is very good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963
Review: This book is about a family of five in the year 1963. They live in Flint,Michigan.Everybody called them the Wierd Watsons.

In thier family they have a Momma-loving caring mother.A Dad-a funny, caring dad. Three kids the oldest Byron -juvenile delinquent. The middle child Kenny-A boy whose life is falling to pieces. The youngest Joetta or Joey-cry baby little sister who is always trying to save Byron.

This story is based on how black people where treated in 1963. The Watsons decide to go to Birmingam, Alabama. While they were down there, something horrible happens.This is a very exciting. I hope you love it as much as me.

Review: This book is about a family that live in the north. their are 5 people in the family. They are byron, kenny, joey, mom, and dad. the story is mostly about byron to me because he gets in trouble a lot and he gets introuble for the last time. His mom sends him to bermingham, Alabama. That was a bad idea because it was the year 1963 and it was segragated. you should read this book eventhough I dident like it.
