Abstract: Today, authors of masterpieces are motivated by their favorite novels they have read. In rare cases, combiningseveral novels can result in the creation of a new one. In this context, classic literature from the twentieth century has hada significant influence on novels from the twenty-first century. One of the most striking examples is Harper Lee’s To Kill aMockingbird (1960), reincarnated in Craig Silvey’s Jasper Jones (2009). Both are coming-of-age tales that address racialinjustice as well as moral and mental growth. Furthermore, they depict small-town settings in which characters such asArthur “Boo” Radley and Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird, and Jasper Jones and Jack Lionel in Jasper Jones, aremisunderstood due to societal prejudice
