The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963 Author: Christopher Paul Curtis Join the Watson family on an unforgettable trip south.

The book The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 is written by Christopher Paul Curtis. The author has written many books , including Bud Not Buddy and Bucking the Sarge. The genre of my book is realistic fiction. It is realistic fiction because it was not a true story but it could have happened. The setting of my book takes place in Flint, Michigan in the winter. They went to Birmingham, AL in the summer. The main characters are Bryon, Kenny, Joetta, Dad, and Mom.

The book The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963,is about a family’s life and about them going to Birmingham. The problem in the book is that Byron acted so bad that they had to go to Birmingham to live with Grandma Sands. The first thing that happens is that you are introduced to the Watson family. You learned that Byron is a troublemaker. The next thing that happens is that the family plans to go south to stay with Grandma Sands. The last thing that happens is that the bomb hit the church, and they were brought together to be a closer family. The resolution occurs when they got back to Michigan and Kenny realized it was not his fault.

I would recommend this book because it has funny parts and sad parts I would recommend this book because it has funny parts and sad parts. I also like the story because it is told from the words of a child. Some of the story is true and some of it is not true.
