To Kill a Mockingbird Re-read: 21st-31st May

Despite being one of the worlds’ best loved novels, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is a book that some of the most avid readers haven’t picked up since school.

In the run-up to the release of Harper Lee’s recently discovered novel, Go Set a Watchman on 14th July, we want to re-visit this brilliant piece of text and re-ignite the world’s love for Mockingbird. #TKAM has sold over 40 million copies worldwide and been translated into over 40 languages, UK librarians have ranked the book ahead of the Bible as one ‘every adult should read before they die’ (Guardian) and its cultural significance remains unparalleled.

Are you in?

From 21st to 31st May 2015 we’ll be hosting a read-along for readers old and new, (re)discovering and discussing the book together to a loose ten day plan with official resources to help you get the most out of it. There’ll be character family trees, plot infographics, a 10 day storyline plan, a 15 minute book club discussion guide and more!

We’ll also be making a call-out for everyone to share photos of their well-loved copies of To Kill a Mockingbird and hosting competitions to win copies of Go Set A Watchman to be sent out to lucky recipients as soon as the book is published in July.
