Each reading revealed to me a deeper understanding of the both the noble and ignoble nature of man. Most importantly, the universal themes touched the hearts and minds of my students. When asked what was the most meaningful part of their 9th grade studies, students always mentioned TKAM. Thank you, Harper Lee. You made my job a pleasure.

Atticus's tender nature; Calpurnia's determination; Boo's fears- all balanced by the mean snare of poor Tom Robinson's fate. This book touched my soul.

Heartwarming and real. The story captures the essence of being a child with Jem and Scout’s escapades around the Radley home and also portrays the tough decisions that must be made as an adult.

That fact drew me into the story, which I discovered at about thirteen years old. At that time I didn't fully understand metephors or themes, but I knew that Scout was brave and that she had an inherent sense of justice that no social stigmas could change.
