Synopsis

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is Mark Twain's classic depiction of a happy-go-lucky boy on a voyage of growth and discovery. Set in pre-Civil war Missouri, this novel is the story of Tom and his best friend Huck Finn, whose playfulness and sense of mischief lead them to all sorts of adventure-some of which is far from the stuff of childhood. Indeed, in the midst of fun and games one night, Tom and Huck witness a brutal murder. The two boys flee the scene, afraid for their lives, and hide out on an island on the Mississippi River. Guilt over their worried families forces the two boys to return home. But the murderer remains at large, and an innocent man stands accused of the crime. The worlds of carefree childhood and adult consequences collide as Tom must decide whether to reveal the truth, potentially costing him his own safety, or allow an innocent man to suffer. This edition includes many drawings of the story.
