I thought this was a great book it talks about the journey of a black family living in 1963.There is five main characters in the story first, there is Kenny very intelligent 10 years old kid,second, there is momma the captin of the trip, dad,joey daddy's little girl and Byron the worst of them all the trouble maker. they go to a trip to Birmingham and end up in a ton of trouble im not going to tell you the wgole story so if you would like to learn more read the book. It's a great book you'll love it!!!!
