Enthused about that choice and hoping to pay homage to a beloved English teacher who recently passed away, the three concoct an elaborate plan to make sure everybody in their classroom (and beyond) actually read that book. It includes the classic Harper Lee novel To Kill A Mockingbird, one of Lucy’s favourite books. It’s the summer before high school starts and friends Lucy, Elena and Michael just got their holiday reading list. I liked the cover and the sound of it, it seemed like a thoughtful book. Why did I read this book: This one was purely via browsing Netgalley. How did I get this book: Review copy via Netgalley But soon, their exploits start to spin out of control and they unwittingly start a mini revolution in the name of books. They plan controversial ways to get people to read the book, including re-shelving copies of the book in bookstores so that people think they are missing and starting a website committed to “destroying the mockingbird.” Their efforts are successful when all of the hullabaloo starts to direct more people to the book. So they hatch a plot to get the entire town talking about the well-known Harper Lee classic. But not everyone in their class shares the same enthusiasm. When Lucy, Elena, and Michael receive their summer reading list, they are excited to see To Kill A Mockingbird included.
