To Kill a Mockingbird
This summer I read To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, a classic American novel about a lawyer, Atticus Finch, defending a black man charged with the rape of a white girl in the deep south. The story is told from the perspective of a young girl, Scout, Atticus Finch's daughter. This is a work of historical fiction dealing with issues of race and social inequality and injustice. I like that this book has a child narrator for a book of adult issues. There aren't many books like it. It gives a young child a voice to express thoughts about important issues that effect her, something that is unusual. People who like books about social problems and like historical fiction books would like this book. Fans of books about children and fans of classics would like this book. This is a book that makes the reader think.
