Watsons Go to Birmingham, 9 Dec 2001
By Marlene feehan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Newbery 8-Book Box Set: Island of Blue Dolphins; Johnny Tremain; Belle Prater's Boy; A Wrinkle in Time; Black Cauldron; Black Pearl; The Watso (Paperback)
This is an excellent book that brings readers to the center of the civil rights movement. We see the struggle and fear through the eyes of a ten year old. What he thinks will be a boring family trip to see his grandmother turns out to be a chapter in the history of a people and a nation. This book is an excellent way to introduce the civil rights movement to a young reader. Curtis tells the story as if he was there in Birmingham during the church bombing. We realilze that the civil rights movement and the acts that tried to stop it affected not only adults, but young children as well. Young teens can compare there struggles to understand today's world to Kenny's struggle to understand his world and his place in it.

This book was really good. I think that most poeple in our grade enjoyed this book, because it is intersesting. It is a good book to read over the summer. I would not recomened this book for younger kids, because they would probaly not understand it. But overall, it is a really good book!
