Title: Best book for teens
Review: I read this book when I was 12 years old. It was so great I read it again when I was 16. Little Kenny is a great character. Christopher Paul Curtis did an amazing job here. Ten-year-old Kenny tells the story of his life in 1963, during the Civil Rights Era. They live in Flint, MI and travel to Birmingham, AL for a family trip. Kenny made me laugh (Byron got his lips stuck to the car mirror from kissing his reflection) and cry (children dying in the church). I think this would be a great book to incorporate into any lesson plan while teaching kids about the Civil Rights Movement. It gives great insight into what went on back then and what blacks had to go through. I'm 22 now and I would definitely read it again. I'll give this book to my children to read as well. I definitely recommend this book to everyone, young and old.
