The Weird Watsons star in this story of family and racial upheaval. The Watsons are like any other family in 1963 America. Byron, Joetta, and Kenny (our narrator) live in Flint, Michigan with their parents. The first half of the book paints them perfectly-from the middle child, Kenny, to the "juvenile delinquent", Byron. And after a series of behavior missteps by the eldest Watson, they embark on a trip South to visit Grandma Sands. The Watson's Go to Birmingham is the perfect introduction to the Civil Rights era for children.
