Summary: Scout Finch is a young girl just beginning school in Alabama. She is looked after by her father Atticus, and the house helper, Cal. She also takes company with her brother, Jem. They spend most their summers wondering and trying to get a peek into the Radley house, who they believe harbors a dangerous man, Boo, who only stalks the world at night. There are things though that begin to become real horrors of the world, and distract them from their childhood games, such as the accusations from a troublesome white family, The Ewells thrown against a black man, Tom Robinson, for raping a woman. The kids witness a world were justice doesn't always prevail and real violence is beyond what the mind can imagine.
