To Kill a Mockingbird

Voted America's Best-Loved Novel in PBS's The Great American ReadHarper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South--and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatredOne of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than forty million copies worldwide, served as the basis for an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father--a crusading local lawyer--risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.Author: Harper LeePublisher: Harper PerennialPublished: 07/05/2005Pages: 336Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.55lbsSize: 7.40h x 5.40w x 1.10dISBN: 9780060935467Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 5.6Point Value: 15Interest Level: Upper GradeQuiz #/Name: 720 / To Kill a MockingbirdReview Citation(s): Booksense '76 Reading Grp 04 05/01/2004 pg. 1Entertainment Weekly 03/04/2016 pg. 65About the AuthorLee, Harper: - Harper Lee was born in 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama.
