"To Kill a Mockingbird"
To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story narrated by a young girl named Scout Finch, who lives in the fictional town of Maycomb, Ala., during the 1930s. The novel follows Scout, her brother Jem, and their widowed father, lawyer Atticus Finch. While Scout and her brother are fascinated by their reclusive neighbor Boo Radley, Atticus takes on the defense of a Black man, Tom Robinson, who is falsely accused of a crime. The trial reveals the Deep South's deep-seated racism, and the children learn about prejudice, morality and empathy through these events.
