<b>Cormier, Robert:</b> "Fourth-grader Kenny Watson brings his black family beautifully to life in Flint, Michigan, in the 60s--but this warm and funny and touching first novel turns into a searing indictment when the Watsons venture south into ugliness and violence. You won't soon forget Kenny and all the Watsons."

Publisher's Note

It was one of those super-duper cold Saturdays. One of those days that when you breathed out your breath kind of hung frozen in the air like a hunk of smoke and you cold walk along and looking exactly like a train blowing out big, fat, white puffs of smoke.
