The Watson's Go To Birmingham - 1963

The Watson's Go To Birmingham - 1963 is by Christopher Paul Curtis. The Watson family heads from Michigan to Alabama to drop off their problem teen Byron. By is going to spend the summer of 1963 in Alabama with his grandmother. The family has no idea they are walking into one of the darkest moments in American history. This story is funny and touching. It shows the love and strength that is to be found in one's family. A great read and a classic multi-cultural historical fiction story.

Ratings: 6th grade - 8 out of 10 - MP (mild profanity).
