 * Reviewer-** Leona Dixon
 * Title**- //The Watson's go to Birmingham-1963//
 * Stereotypes**- There may be stereotypes assumed in the language you are reading the characters using and how they are saying their words because of their ethnicity and accent.
 * Readability-** It was easy to read and any 4th grader and above could comprehend the text and subject matter.
 * Accuracy-** Being a historical fiction book, it provided a great insight into the struggles and lives of African Americans during the civil rights movement.
 * Recommendation**- It is a great book to use as a trade and perhaps even class readings that are done aloud. It can really provide a glimpse of the tragedy that even the children had to face during this time.

// **Stereotypes-** The spoiled behavior of the wealthy landowners daughter can be interpreted as a stereotype perhaps. The perception of the work ethic of Mexicans and Mexican Americans could also be influenced. // // **Readability-** The providing of Spanish words, phrases and language can be difficult to transition to while reading but the text provided a wide array of vocabulary *exposure including proper nouns such as geographical locations and foods. // // **Accuracy**- It could be used as a tool when teaching or referring to the Mexican Revolution. (*) // // **Recommendation-** Would implement during the middle school grades and encourage the use of a study guide. //
