Summary: A wonderful book that grows and grows on you....
Review: My sixth grade students adored "The Watson's go to Birmingham" - I can't wait for the paperback edition of "Bud." I'm going to order a class set.It's a very sweet historical novel. I never laughed so hard reading the chapter when Bud gets his new nickname. I also love how he used his own grandfathers as inspiration for a couple of the characters - It sort of makes students think - maybe I could write too.

Summary: A touching and funny read.
Review: This is a great book. Wonderful characters and story. Gives a great view of life during the depression as well as what it was like to be black in a white world. Many of us today have never seen real discrimination and how people handled it with grace. Also Bud is a lovable main character.

Summary: A great book for kids or adults.
Review: Christopher Curtis's first book "The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963" won a Newberry Award. This book is even better. The story is about a young man growing up in Flint, MI. during the Depression. Bud is an orphan during some very tough times. Kids will be entertained by his rules for a happy life. And everyone will smile as he describes Bud drinking a bottle of soda. It is both touching and humorous. I would highly recommend this book to students.
