To Kill a Mockingbird

Author: Lee, Harper

The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.

Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior – to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos.

The book follows three years in the life of Scout Finch, her brother Jem, their father Atticus, and their fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, in the era of the Great Depression. The first half of the novel focuses mainly on Scout and Jem’s childhood – their friend Dill, their fixation on their neighbor “Boo” Radley, and their experiences at school. The second part of the book is marked both by the ongoing trial of a black man accused of raping a white woman, whom Atticus has been called to defend, and the repercussions this trial has on the children’s eventual coming of age.

House at Pooh Corner (The Winnie-the-Pooh Series #2)

Author: Milne, A. A.Part of a Series: Winnie-the-Pooh

This book as well as other Pooh books are filled with wonderful lessons about humility, friendship, and growing up. Much better than the Disney versions so are worth reading even for adults.
