"The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963," by Christopher Paul Curtis, reviewed by Mrs. W.

5 Stars

Kenny's family will never be a normal family of five. They seem to be living up to their reputation as the "Weird Watsons!" Kenny is a bright fourth grader at Clark Elementary School in Flint, Michigan. Unfortunately many people tease him and he is often the target for bullying. He discovers his saviors, two squirrel hunters from Arkansas, Cody and Rufus.

Did you know the temperature in Flint can get"a million degrees below zero?" Only kidding! This is just one example of the humor that you will find in this novel.

I highly recommend this book to individuals that enjoy learning about different families in history and how they were effected by the civil rights movement!
