The Newbery and Coretta Scott King Honoree about the Weird Watsons of Flint, Michigan-from Christopher Paul Curtis, author of Bud, Not Buddy, a Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott Award Champion.

Enter the hilarious world of ten-year-old Kenny and his family members, the Weird Watsons of Flint, Michigan. There’s Momma, Dad, little sister Joetta, and brother Byron, who’s thirteen and an ‘official juvenile delinquent.’

When Byron gets to be an excessive amount of trouble, they head South to Birmingham to visit Grandma, the one individual who can shape him up. And they happen to maintain Birmingham when Grandma’s cathedral is usually blown up.
