When Atticus Finch, their widowed father and a respected lawyer, defends a black man named Tom Robinson against fabricated rape charges, the trial and tangent events expose the children to evils of racism and stereotyping. “To Kill a Mockingbird is now the most banned book in America, making this a good time to evaluate its worth.” – Christine Merser.
