In To Kill a Mockingbird, what type of narration is being used?

In Harper Lee's  "To Kill A Mockingbird," the narration being used is First Person.  Scout Finch is an 11 year-old girl who lives in Macomb.  The setting is during the depression.  Scout tells the story of Jem, Atticus, Tom Robinson, and Boo Radley in her own voice.  She talks about the town of Macomb and all the people who live there.  The story is mostly centered around the trial of a black man and the under-current of prejudice in her small town.  It is about the loss of innocence and the maturation of Scout, Jem and Dill.  This was Ms. Lee's only novel, which is very sad because she is a wonderful writer and this is a great novel.
