The first part of the book has Kenny introducing his family, the Watsons. His family has his dad, his mom, older brother Byron and younger sister Joetta. He retells stories about him and Byron, including the story of Byron and Buphead teaching Kenny how to survive a blizzard, in which they spat snow at him. Byron continues to act bad, including beating up Larry Dunn, and lighting matches at his house. As for Kenny, he tells about his lazy eye, his time with L.J. Jones stealing dinosaurs, and about his new friend, Rufus Fry, which Kenny thinks will be his "saver" who God has sent. Joey complains about how Momma makes her and Kenny wear so many clothes outside during the Winter. Byron makes many mistakes in the book such as, going to Buphead's to make his hair "Mexican style" by straightening it. His mom gets very mad, and his dad shaves his head bald as a punishment.

That was Byron's last straw. The family decides Byron should live with his Grandma Sands in Alabama for the summer or maybe for a year if things don't work out in the hope of straightening him out. They drive straight from Flint to Birmingham, where Kenny almost drowns ,and the family almost suffers a terrible loss during the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. Kenny believes that Joey is gone in the bombing which makes him worry about her.
