To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee; To summarize, this book is about Scout, her brother Jem and their father who was defending a man in a trial. Set during the Great Depression, racism was still heavily prevalent against African-Americans. This book focuses on the characters' lives, and the legal case that the father character is working on defending an African American man. In this novel, many people did not like the father character, Atticus, since he was defending a black man at that time. Even though this book presented difficult moments of how African Americans were treated at that time, It got more interesting towards the end. I for one almost didn’t continue to read it so If you are more sensitive about certain subjects like racism and assault I would not recommend this book. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this book especially during these times of social unrest in our country. I believe the age range should be 13-18 years. 3.5/5 star rating from me

haven't read yet looks good can it be read by six graders?

Awesome book and amazing narration! I have read the print version before, but the narration in the audiobook really brought this story to life.

This was my first time reading TKAM. I ADORE Scout ... and Atticus and Jem! The movie is great, and the book is definitely worth savoring and not rushing. Absolutely worth a reread. It's a beautiful, poignant story, and right now especially timely.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is an eye-opening historical fiction novel. This book follows a young girl, Scout Finch, as she grows up in the south. She is the daughter of a well-known lawyer in her town and when her father, Atticus, takes on a case to defend an innocent black man she learns many valuable lessons. Throughout this novel, as Scout grows up she learns about racism and prejudice in her town.

This book is a beautiful piece of writing that everyone should read once in their life. One thing I loved about this book is that it is told from the POV as a young girl. Since this book is told from a younger person she has not learned about things such as prejudice and racism but once she does you can see the change in her perspective. Throughout this book, we see her as she grows up and goes through new experiences. Next, I love how easily this book can teach young readers about topics that are harder to talk about. Lee puts these topics in a straightforward and easy way to learn so it does not seem boring or unimportant. Lastly, I loved the main character, Scout. She has an amazing personality that is very likable and will make you want to keep reading this book.

In conclusion, this is an amazing book that I would recommend to everyone. This is a quick and easy read that you can learn many things from! -Eunchae, Grade 10

To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, is a story that takes place in a southern town. The main character, Scout, is a young girl whose father (she calls by his name- Atticus) is a lawyer. Atticus is helping a Black man named Tom Robinson,
who is accused of raping a white woman. The story shows the injustice of the political system during this time, and how racism and personal opinions could easily sway the court to choose a side, even if there is no evidence. This
story is unique since the court case that Atticus is fighting is told through the lens of Scout, who is only a young kid who doesn't understand a lot of what is happening.
I first read this book when I was in seventh grade. However, I didn't appreciate the story until I was in high school. I like this story and the themes behind them. I would recommend for everyone to read this book at least once.

Very emphatic novel about the impact of racism on the South in the 1930s during the Great Depression. It truthfully represents a lot of people's attitudes towards slaves, and how slaves were treated as less than human. Atticus Finch, a lawyer, chose to represent a slave who was falsely accused of rape. Several tragedies occur in the novel, as in, justice is not fulfilled, per se, but the novel traces an important lesson about slavery and people’s opinions towards it in the 1930s. However, it also displays that not everyone was for slavery in this period. There were several people who believed it was only fair and right to treat all races the same. This is a rightfully deserved bestseller and a classic novel.

To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee is one of the most famous books written in American Literature. The book can be split into two halves, both of which have similarities. The first half follows Scout and Jem Finch, and their childhood. The second follows Scout's father, Atticus defending Tom Robinson, a black man, who is falsely accused of raping a white woman. The story takes place in the 1930s in Alabama, a time when racism and segregation against blacks was at a prime.

A popular assignment for high school students, To Kill a Mockingbird explores themes of racial prejudice and injustice, and the coming-of-age of both Scout and her brother Jem, making this book a timely and fun read overall.

The book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is about two young children named Jem and Scout Finch. The story is about them growing up. During their process of Jem and Scout growing up, they learn a bunch of new things. They go from ignorant to educated in many different ways in life. For example, they go from ignorant to educated in race, and the way people get treated because of their skin colour. They also go from ignorant to educated by judging people by their looks, appearances, and what other people say about them. They also learn new things. The things that they learn throughout the story, other children also learn in their childhood to adulthood too.

The things I liked about the book is that it shows many things many people will eventually realize or learn as they grow up. The ways that the story portrays how Scout and Jem may not be the same as other people, but the result of what they have learned is the same. The things that I disliked about this book is that the book feels like a lot of multiple short stories in one huge book about the same characters. Each scenario doesn’t flow well into the next and every time there is a new event, it starts it off like a whole brand new story.
