Book Report by Collin Rowe
Overview of book
Discouraged, Nelle grabbed the whole stack of papers and threw them out the window. I Am Scout is about Harper Lee, who is a struggling writer, and who eventually writes the very popular novel called To Kill A MockingBird. The angle of the book is no matter who you are you can do things that others may say that you can't. The genre of the story is non-fiction. The theme of this story I think is probably you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it.
