Description
Kenny was relieved when his parents suggested his older brother, the genuine "juvenile delinquent," Byron, spend the summer with his grandmother in Birmingham. No one could have foreseen that this trip would make them witness the hotbed of the Civil Rights' movement and the burning of the 16th Ave Baptist Church. This engaging tale swings from amusement to solemn realism as Kenny learns more about himself, his family and the society that is clamoring for change right before his eyes. Includes a 16-page full-color photo insert from the Hallmark Channel movie. Newberry and Coretta Scott King honor awards winner. 210 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
