Mr. Nowak dropped dead of a heart attack in the lunch line just before Halloween. When Miss Caridas, the replacement teacher, posts the summer reading list on the last day of school, Lucy remembers that Mr. Nowak had told them, “To Kill a Mockingbird is the only book I will assign over your next summer vacation.” So, to honor Mr. Nowak, Lucy convinces her friends to help her start a campaign that will get everyone in town to read To Kill a Mockingbird. They begin by hiding all of the copies in the local bookstores and libraries. In place of the hidden books, they leave flyers showing a mockingbird silhouetted in a gun target. Then, a website, a Facebook page, and a twitter account follow. The scarcity and the publicity do increase people’s interest in the book, but the ensuing mini-revolution spreads far beyond their town. How will they end it without getting into trouble for starting it in the first place?

This was a sweet book although the main idea seemed somewhat undeveloped. ( )

This one was really cute. Loved all the literature references! ( )

Interesting premise, but not sure what reader I would give it to. ( )

I LOVED this book! Amazing vocabulary. Great literary references. In a word: spectacular! ( )
