The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

About the Story

Tom Sawyer turns ordinary life along the Mississippi into a series of adventures, from whitewashing a fence to searching for treasure. His friendship with Huckleberry Finn leads him into mischief, danger, and a frightening encounter with Injun Joe.

Mark Twain gives Tom an unforgettable mixture of imagination, bravado, and loyalty. The novel captures childhood freedom while also offering a lively picture of small-town America in the nineteenth century.
