No, the Watsons weren't on welfare at the time that Byron thought they were, but they had been before.

Hi! I think it was funny too that Dad cut off all Byron's hair. I'll bet he looked like a lunitic with those ears! Who is your favorite charactar? Mine is Joey because she is so cute and polite. Can you beleive someone would bomb that church building? I don't. That was really mean. 4 inocent children died! Write back!

I'm sorry that I'm not him, but I do know that it really did happen. On September 15, 1963, a Birmingham church was bombed and 3 girls (actually all 14) were killed by two men. In 1995, two out of three were caught. The third was caught in 1987. Don't you think that it was a long time? I think that the police kept it hush-hush for quite a while. It was really sad. How do you think the family felt afterwards? How would you feel?

I think that the dog in chapter 12 was probably a great hunting dog. I don't think that he caught hundreds of bucks, but I believe that he was a was a helpful companion, and a great friend.

hi,
yes & NO. I think that moma was not very fair because I don't think that if you play with fire in the bathroom you should get you hads burned. Do you? Then again I think he did know that he was going to get it from moma.

dear Andrew W.
We read chapter twelve today. I think that byron is acting suspicously good. He is hanging out with dad and Mr. Roberts and laughing at every little story. I think he is trying to be nice to his Dad so he won't have to stay in birmingham. What do you think about By's good behavior in birmingham. do think he is being nice to go home or just acting nice because he really is having fun. I also think it was funny that Kenny was trying not to brake Grandma Sands in half.

Do you think that Byron is just being nice to his grandma because he doesn't want her to have a heart attack and die or do you think that he is brown noseing his grandma so he doesn't have to stay at Grandma Sands house?

From:
Dave
Grade 7

Marshall, WI To: stephen
No because my parents usally would buy our family snacks to eat. Do you think that Mr. Roberts is more than a freind to Grandma Sands or just a very good freind. Would you ever do any of the things that Byron has done in the past. Like kissing the mirror, put conk in his hair, ect.

I like chapter 4 a lot. My favorite character is also Kenny because he is adventuresome. I liked to go to my grandma, but now I can't because she has passed away. What chapter are you on? We are on chapter 13. Why do you think Byron likes his grandmas house so much? I think he likes it because it has new things for him to do like fishing. In flint he could only go ice fishing maybe if he wanted to. Also I think he is acting different because he is not around Buphead.

How do you like the book so far? I think it is coming along well. Do you think it was a good idea to send Byron to Birmingham? I do and dont. I do because H ehopefully will learn that there is a lot more to life then playing tricks on people and being nasty. right? I dont because say, even though he might not show it he might feel it, he does miss his family. I cant wait to see what happens next. how about you?

In chapter thirteen,why did you think Kenny went to Colliers Landing? Don't you think that Byron would be the one to go there?

The funniest chapter to me is chapter 7 and chapter 5. Chapter 7 for the same reason you do, and chapter 5 because mama was going to burn his fingers for playing with matches. We are on chapter 13. Do you think Grandma Sands and Mr. Robert's are more than just best friends? I think they are.

I think By is going to act perfect the whole time he is at Grandma Sands's house, but horrible in Flint. Kenny might act the exactly the opposit of By. He could act perfect in Flint, but horrible at Grandma Sands's house. What do you think? ~Write Back~

I thought that Kenny went to Collier's Landing because almost on every adventure Kenny went on, somebody got in trouble. Byron didn't so Kenny had to go. Why do you think Kenny went to Collier's Landing?

Hi!!!I dont think that mama should have tried to burn him. I was happy that Joey blew out the fire that was going to burn him. I also thought that was very brave of Joey to blow out the fire that he was going to get burned with.Do you,Write back.

From:
Tracey
Grade Fifth

Petoskey, MI To: Barbra
From chapter 13 why do you think Byron is following the rules and not going to Collier's Landing? Do you think that he is afraid of grandma? Or maybe he doesn't want to have somthing happen like with the match incident. He did cry when his fingers were going to get burnt. It seems like ever since Kenny and Byron got to 'Bama Kenny has been taking Byron's place. It seems like Kenny wants to be bad like By.

I like when the sign said no trespassing and that his grandma talked about their were a whirpool that took people and never brought them back but eventually they decided to go pass it. I like Byron because he makes the story a blast! He is the funniest charcater and the best character in The Watson Go To Birmingham. It was so cool wehn thay decided to go pass the sign. I think something will happen but I could be very wrong. Thanks for mailing me back and I would appreciated if you would be sensitive and nice that you will mail me back and if you would please tell me who is your favorite adult is and give me some details.
