        <description><![CDATA[Byron gets Kenny cereal and milk on page 197 in my book, which is the 1995 Yearling Random House Edition.  Page numbers vary from edition to edition of books, however, so it might be more helpful if I tell you that the incident occurs about six pages, or a third of the way, into Chapter 15, the last chapter in the book.  That chapter recounts the aftermath of the Watsons' fateful trip to Birmingham.  Kenny, who had witnessed the immediate...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The author of this book, Christopher Paul Curtis, won the Hopwood Prize at the University of Michigan for a rough draft of The Watsons Go to Birmingham. His family encouraged him to do more with his writing, so he decided to complete the novel--writing it out by hand and having his son type it--and work to get it published. Delacorte Books for Young Readers did indeed publish it in September 1995. In 1996, the book was given a Newbery Honor,...]]></description>

"there are some things that Byron has to learn and he's not learning them in Flint, and the things he is learning are things we don't want him to".

Byron is rebellious, and is learning to defy his parents and follow the bad influences of his peers, especially Buphead.  Byron is a bully, and although he has not gotten into really serious trouble yet, he is headed in that direction.  Momma and Dad have tried everything...]]></description>
