To Kill a Mockingbird

I have recently finished the book named "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. This story takes place in a small southern town in the 1950's. There is a girl who is about 9 years old named Scout. Her brother who is about 13 years old is named Jem. Their father, Atticus, is in his 40's. He is a white lawyer who is defending a black man who is on trial for raping a white woman. The book is about what happens in their lives within a four yearspan. Near the end of the book Scout is in a school play and has to dress as a ham. After the play Jem and Scout start to walk home. It was pitch black because it was very cloudy that night. As they walked down the street they heard footsteps behind them. They started to walk faster when the footsteps got faster and louder. Jem told Scout to run when he saw a man with a knife running towards them. Find out what happens by reading this book.
