Scout Finch is an 8-year-old girl growing up in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama. She spends her summers with her older brother, Jem, and her best friend Dill. However, everything changes when Atticus (Scout and Jem's father) is assigned to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman. Suddenly, Maycomb is engulfed in a myriad of social tensions.
But at the core of the book,
To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, fueled not by the events surrounding Maycomb but rather the people inside of it. It's an enjoyable read that forces its reader to grow as much as Scout does. All in all, this is an interesting book that I would recommend to people of all ages.
