    The Watson’s

    Interesting book about civil rights movement in the 60’s , told from the perspective of 10 year old Kenny Watson. Lots of humor infused into the story with an unexpected ending. Highly recommended!

    informative and entertaining

    This book is about a different time that what we live in today, but it is still very applicable to today because of the racial prejudice that still exists in our country. This book was very informative and the characters were entertaining from start to finish.
