//The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963//
===//The book The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963 is about a boy named Kenny who lives in Flint, Michigan. This book takes you in many different directions. Kenny has many different characteristics. He is very gullable boy for believing things that his older brother tells him. There are many dramatic, page turning, parts. I would recomend this book to anyone who is willing to read it. This is a page turner.//===

 * I read __The Watsons Got to Birmingham- 1963__** **as well and I was amazed how he made the book so much like Bud, Not Buddy but still being able to make it its own book. By that I mean that the ideas and story were different but there were little things like being in Flint, making a general point about racism and human rights, and using lots of figurative language that were the same. The book is about Kenny and his family: Joetta (younger sister), Byron (older brother), Daniel (father), and finally Wilona (mother).My favorite parts were all of Byron's adventures. I also agree that the book is a page turner and that Kenny shows many different sides to him. I recommend this book to everyone, and especially people who like to have something to laugh at and that like to follow an adventure along the way. Also, the family takes a trip to the "mean" grandmother. Read the book and find out where the trip is to and to watch and enjoy the adventures of Kenny, Joetta, Daniel, Wilona and Byron Watson (mostly Byron).**

Yaz I read __The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963.__ My favorite characters were Joetta and Kenny because they were funny. This family has alot situations with their son Byron. this book reminds me of Bud, not Buddy because of the text.The family members are Wilonawho is the mother,Daniel who is the father, Byron who is the oldest brother,Kenny who is the main character and is the middle child,and their Joetta who is the youngest sister. this book is great for anyone 10 and up.

//Elijah of Buxton//
Elijah of Buxton is about a boy named Elijah. He is the first free-born in Buxton. The story has many twists and turns. There are many times in the book Elijah can't be "fra-gile" and over come his fears. There are many emotions you will feel when reading. You will want to cry, laugh out loud and scream at Elijah for doing something "fra-gile".This book is a great book.

 * This book is about a free born Canadian who lives in Buxton. His name is Elijah and he is an only child.The person above this said that you will want to scream, laugh, and cry at Elijah for being "fragile" and this is completely true. He is funny by being ignorant and not understanding things you and I do. This book takes you on an adventure when someone that the settlement barely knows anything about steals from one of Elijah's friends. THis mystery is delayed in the book till almost the end but is heart warming, brave, and adventure packed. Read the book and find out what happens next!**

//Bucking the Sarge Dani//
This book has twist and turns and is full of sayings about philosiphy. You will laugh, cry, and can't stop turning the page. It is about a boy named Luther, and his friend Sparky. Sparky sees this man on TV who can sue anyone. Sparky has some knew ideas to be on his wall with all the other famous people. While Sparky tries to reach his goal in life, Luther is through with the Sarge and is planning a big surprise. this book is full adventures and comedy. I would recommend it for anyone who is willing to read it.
