To kill a Mockingbird is set in between 1933 and 1935, it takes place in Alabama in South America and is narrated by the main character, a little girl called Jean Louise Finch (Scout, her nickname). Her father, Atticus Finch, is a lawyer who half way through the book decides to take on a case including a black man named Tom Robinson, who is accused of raping a very poor white girl named Mayella Ewell. Scout, Jem (her brother) amd Atticus all live together in a town named Macomb, which how Scout describes it, sounds like the most boring town in America. Few people move in, fewer move out, so it’s just the same families doing the same things for generaton after generation.
Scout, her brother Jem, and their friend Dill are desperate to find out about the mystery of a man in their neighborhood named Boo Radley who, rumour has it stabbed his father in the leg with a pair of scissors, and appears to be a kind of monster when really he isn’t as Jem and Scout discover at the end of the book.
I loved reading about Scout, jem and Dills adventures to just be able to see Boo Radley.
This book shows the reality of the truth about how bad racism really was, less than one hundred years ago. I really enjoyed reading this book and I defenitaly recommend it. 9/10 ...(the book was written by Harper Lee and has alsobeen made into a film).
