To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee - 1960

Atticus Finch, a lawyer and father, defends an African-American man accused of rape in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama.

His daughter, Scout, and her friend, Dill, observe the trial and its aftermath, learning the importance of justice and courage.

The children are also exposed to the cruel racism of their community and the contrast of Atticus' moral code.

Scout and Jem befriend a recluse named Boo Radley, whose gifts to them further teach them about empathy and kindness.

Scout and Jem's uncle, Jack, does not share Atticus' values and his differing parenting style causes friction between the siblings.

Maycomb's society is tested when Atticus is called to defend a black man, Tom Robinson, against a rape charge.

Despite Atticus' best efforts, Tom is found guilty and sentenced to death.
