A review by secret_getaway
I Kill the Mockingbird by Paul Acampora
5.0
This is a very short but charming story about the last summer before reaching the scary high school chapter in life. It’s about doing something great not only for someone you care about but also to benefit society as a whole. Sparking an interest in a book as important as To Kill a Mockingbird is a commendable task and for such young characters to take on that task sets this book to be something great.
There is so much in this book that affected me. The grim presence of cancer in the family, the uncertainty of high school and the apprehension of developing a crush on a long time friend. The value the characters see in books created another strong affiliation I had for this book. I cold easily connect with these characters and I commend their objective to bring back the popularity of one of the most renowned novels in America.
This final summer meant so much to these characters and is something anyone could relate to. While on their mission, the characters also face illness, family bonds, and first crushes. It’s a book that encompasses everything a contemporary novel should have but with a noble act in the sake of classic novels. For a quick read that celebrates the importance of classic novels, this is definitely the book to pick up.
