Rating: Summary: The Watsons Go To Birmingham Review: This powerful and enthusiastic first novel by Christopher Paul Curtis garnered the Newbury Honor Book award and the Coretta Scott King award for non-violent social change. An African-American family finds itself on a "date with destiny" as daily life collides with the politically turbulent era of the 1960's. The book recounts a number of poignant vignettes of pre-teen and teenage black life in the small town of Flint, Michigan, where the author himself grew into young adulthood. The story, sometimes wistful, sometimes humorous, entertains and enlightens the reader as to the reality of everyday life for Kenny, the middle child of the Watson clan. The antics and misfortunes of Byron, his 13 year old "juvenile delinquent" brother, add hilarious touches to the fabric of their ordinary lives. Younger sister Joetta is involved in the shocking turn of events that occur in the summer of '63 on the family's trip to Grandma's house in Birmingham, Alabama. An epilogue, with historical notes for young readers who may not be familiar with this period of history, is provided. The author ends by encouraging youthful readers, "These are our heroes, and they still walk among us today...One of them may be sitting next to you as you read this, or standing in the room making your dinner...One of them may be you."

Rating: Summary: Feliza's Review Review: The Watson's Go to Birmingham-1963 Was about five people. Momma, dad, Joetta, Kenny and Byron. Momma had a gap in her two front teeth. Dad is always working on the Brown Bomber. Joetta is always trying to keep Byron from getting in trouble with his parents. Kenny has a lazy eye and is always getting picked on. Byron was always getting in trouble.It took place in Flint Michigan. The part I liked was... one day Byron and Kenny went were scrapping the car windows. kenny went inside and Byron started kissing the mirror because he thought he looked good. His lips got froze to the mirror.Kenny came out and saw that his lips were stuck.Dad and momma tried several ways to get his lips off. The message i got from the story was your family is more important than you thinkso you shouldn't back talk them.

Rating: Summary: The watsons go to Birmingham 1963 Review: The Watsons go to Birmingham 1963 was based on a black family which was the Watsons and how they lived back then. The Watsons lived in Flint, Michigan and the characters were mom, dad, Kenny, Byron, and Joey. My favorite part of the book is when Kenny And Byron go into a lake and think that they are getting caught by the Wool Poo! This book is a good way for kids to relize how good they really have it.
