To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee

The book To Kill a Mockingbird was written by Harper Lee. It was published in 1960 then it went on to win the Pulitzer prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award winning film.

The Finch family contains of Atticus (The head of the household), Aunt Alexandra (Atticus's sister), (Jem) Jeremy (The oldest of Atticus's two children), (Scout) Jean Louise (The youngest of the two .

Miss Rachael is Dill's aunt that lives in Maycomb. Dill is a friends with Jem and Scout.
