The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer captures the energy, mischief and imagination of childhood in a small town along the Mississippi River. Tom Sawyer is clever, restless and always searching for excitement, whether he is avoiding chores, exploring with friends or trying to impress Becky Thatcher. What begins with everyday adventures gradually becomes more serious when Tom and Huckleberry Finn witness a crime and are forced to decide whether to remain silent or tell the truth. Treasure hunts, secret plans and moments of real danger follow. Mark Twain combines humour, adventure and sharp observation of adult society in one of his most popular novels. Tom’s rebellious spirit and unforgettable escapades have made The Adventures of Tom Sawyer a lasting classic of American literature.
