To Kill a Mockingbird

Scout isn't your typical girl, she wears pants, cusses and hangs out with the boys. This story is about Scout growing up and learning the trials of life. One day she is faced with one of her biggest trials. Her father, a lawyer, is defending a black man for rape. The townspeople are very rude about it and threaten Scout and her family. The trial comes and Scouts father easily proves Tom's innocence but that isn't enough, the racism in the town is too much and Tom is sent to jail. Some people still aren't happy with the result so they make a physical attack on Scout and Jem.
