The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

In Mark Twain's classic tale of adventure, young Tom Sawyer is a boy of remarkable charm and wit, able to talk any boy into whitewashing a fence, trading a toy for a Sunday school pin, and even to convince his friends to do his chores. After witnessing a murder with his friend Huck Finn in a graveyard, their need for secrecy quickly propels them into a series of thrilling adventures, including treasure hunts, rooftop duel, and hand-to-hand combat with Injun Joe. Hilarious and heartwarming, this is a story about growing up, facing your fears, and realizing that sometimes the greatest dangers and adventures are the ones you least expect.
