The Watson family is hilarious. They have problems here and there. But their main problem is Byron Watson, the oldest brother. It’s that Byron keeps causing problems. It gets so bad that mom and dad have to take him to Grandma Watson who will straighten him out. If Byron does something wrong, he’ll get yelled at. Usually Byron would be doing chores. The main character is Kenneth Watson. My favorite character of the book is Byron. He does such stupid things that it’s funny. I enjoyed the part in chapter 5 when Byron was playing with matches and his mom caught him and when his mom was about to burn him, Joetta kept patoohing it out. I liked this book because it was interesting and hilarious. I would recommend this book to readers who like interesting and funny books.
