Summary: A family heading to visit Grandma in Birmingham during one of the darkest moments in the history of America.
Strengths: The chapter titles are not numbers and actually give a little idea of what the chapter will be about. It also gives history on a dark moment in American history and relates to us what an average family had to go through.
Concerns: I did not care much for the book. I felt it was too slow moving for me. The print is also very small and hard to read.
Age level: Upper(5-6), Middle
Classroom Use: Children are able to learn what life was like in Birmingham at this time. It also informs children about blacks and diversity.
