If you haven't read it, go get it! Byron Watson is growing up and flexing his young male muscles, perhaps beyond the bounds of what is proper and even legal. His younger brother, Kenny, is watching with a touch of awe and a lot of fear. Their parents step in, though, and decide that what Byron needs is some time with Grandma down in Birmingham. Travel with the Watsons through their family struggles and through the challenges forced upon them by the prejudice of America in 1963. Get out your tissue box. This one really brings it home. This book is the 1996 Newbery Honor winner. Ages 9-13 210 pages
