I'm genuinely surprised.

To Kill a Mocking bird is considered not only a classic in literature but also in film. Both the book and the movie are some of the most significant works on race in America, and even on parenting. It is perhaps the greatest performance by Gregory Peck, and he had plenty of great roles. The movie resulted in several academy awards and golden globes, and many more nominations.

The film adaptation is good, but the book is much more nuanced. It is the quintessential American Novel (and Haper Lee the most noted literary 'one hit wonder). I've read it three times, and each time I notice another little detail- I don't think there is a wasted word in the book. I can understand how it might be arduous to read in school in small little bits over weeks, but I really hope you come back to it again later on. It really is one of the most important books you'll ever read.
