Harper Lee, who celebrated her 88th. birthday on Monday, has signed on for Scout, Boo Radley and Atticus Finch to enter the electronic age.

Filling one of the biggest gaps in the e-library, "To Kill a Mockingbird" will become available as an e-book and digital audiobook, narrated by Sissy Specek, on July 8, HarperCollins Publishers announced Monday.

Lee, in a rare public statement, cited a "new generation" of fans in agreeing to the downloadable editions of her Pulitzer Prize-winning classic.
