Mockingbird Memories

 My sixth grade class reading included:

The Good Earth, Cry the Beloved Country, and To Kill a Mockingbird.

 Perhaps a little ambitious for such a young group and honestly most went over my head, 

but I couldn't put To Kill a Mockingbird down. 

I read straight through, stayed up late, soaked in all the details.

I was transported into the world of Jem, Scout, Atticus, Tom, Boo and Dill,

and I fell in love with reading. Thank you, Harper Lee. 

Rest in Peace.
