In the small town of Maycomb, young Scout Finch lives a childhood shaped by innocence and curiosity, but the realities of prejudice soon intrude. Her father, Atticus Finch, a man of unwavering principles, takes on the defence of a black man accused of raping a white woman, setting the town ablaze with tension and exposing the deep-seated racism of their community. As Scout and her brother Jem navigate the complexities of their changing world, they learn profound lessons about justice, empathy, and the importance of standing up for what is right. Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is a timeless exploration of moral courage and the loss of innocence in a society marred by hatred and fear.​
