curbj402 said: A family is taking their oldest son to live with his grandmother in Birmingham. While they are there, they experience the South and the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church being blown up. The book has a great mixture of drama and comic relief, which is greatly needed through some of the hard stuff. The story is explained with a limited omniscient view through Kenny, the middle child. The way his innocence explains things is very humorous, profound, and offers the perspective of a child in those difficult times.
