Who Am I?

I am the narrator of one of the greatest American novels of the 20th century. I live in the sleepy town of Maycomb, Ala., during the Great Depression. My father, Atticus, is a lawyer who defends an innocent black man accused of a nasty crime. The case stirs up the townspeople's racist feelings, and ugly things take place. I'm so young that I don't understand much of what's going on, but my father helps me. He tells me, "If you just learn a single trick... you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."

What literary character am I? What book do I appear in and who wrote it?
