To Kill a Mockingbird
Harper Lee
Young Jean Louise Finch also known as "Scout" is living in a small town in the South with her brother Jem and her father Atticus a respected lawyer. Together her, Jem, and a young boy called "Dill" set out on several adventures the highlight of which is trying to get the infamous "Boo" Radley to come out of his house. Scout narrates her take on what happens in the neighborhood, even when her father is made to take a case involving a black man that supposedly raped a white girl. But through all the problems Scout, Jem, and Dill plan on having the most fun they can including almost getting shot, breaking bones, running away from home, and dressing up like a giant ham.
This was a very good book and I do not see why they banned it. It was very interesting and there are a lot of surprising events and characters. My favorite part was when Scout is in the school play and she makes her teacher embarrassed by making her shout "PORK!" over and over. A really good book that everyone should read at least once. A book more for older kids and adults because it does have some swearing and could be hard to follow for the younger kids.
