Published by Square Fish, 2009 (reprinted July 2015) Read our interview with Loretta Ellsworth HERE. Along the way she meets a menagerie of colourful characters… Think if it as a middle grade, literary Field of Dreams. Obsessed with the book for years, on her sixteenth birthday Erin decides to set out on a journey of discovery to learn as much about her mother as she can, and so she makes her way to Alabama to find the reclusive Harper Lee. Now, all she has that connects her to her mom is a tattered, note-filled copy of To Kill A Mockingbird. Published by Square Fish, April 2007 (reprinted July 2015)Įrin’s mother died years ago, when Erin was too young to even get to know her. With the help of Wil Wheaton, their work goes viral… They misshelve the book in libraries and bookstores, and take to social media and set up a website () to publicize their mission. They do so by endeavoring to make the book as scarce and difficult to find, knowing that people love to be a part of something exclusive. Three friends decide to pay tribute to their favorite teacher –an lover of Lee’s masterpiece– by attempting to entice as many people as possible to read To Kill A Mockingbird. Published by Roaring Book Press, May 2014 Here we present a brief list of some of the best. Personally, I’m going to forgo Go Set A Watchman, but all this talk of Mockingbird is making me hungry for more… Luckily there’s a cottage industry specializing in books spun off from Lee’s novel. There are others I love – A Prayer for Owen Meaney, The Corrections, Nicholas Nickleby, Wait Until Spring, Bandini, A Confederacy of Dunces, For Whom the Bell Tolls– but Mockingbird is the only one that’s perfect.
Like countless others, To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite novel, without question. The situation surrounding Watchman‘s publication has left a very bad taste in many people’s mouths, and indeed there is much that is suspect in the tale. Unsurprisingly, it’s smashing sales records around the world, but it has also set off a wave of controversy. The rough first draft of Harper Lee’s uber-classic To Kill A Mockingbird, Go Set A Watchman, was released this past Tuesday.
