The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963

About This Book

The Weird Watsons of Flint, Michigan are hilarious — Dad, Momma, teenage Byron, ten-year-old Kenny, and little Joetta. When Byron's behaviour reaches a breaking point, the family drives south to Birmingham, Alabama, in the summer of 1963. Christopher Paul Curtis balances sharp family comedy with one of the most devastating historical moments in American history.
