The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis

5.0

I love this book SO MUCH. How on God's green earth did this not win the Newberry Medal?!?

I listened to the audio book version read by Levar Burton, which was an absolute pleasure.

This historical fiction middle-grade novel manages to be funny, realistic, warm-hearted, and heartbreaking all at once. The Watsons truly are a remarkable family. Highly recommended! (Grade 4 and up.)
