The adventure of Tom Sawyer

If ever there was a story written based unabashedly on adven- ture and trouble, this is it. There are treasure hunts and murderers on the run in this book that will keep you spellbound. Tom and his half-brother, Sid, lived with their aunt, Polly. Tom was a boisterous young fellow who constantly found himself in rather awkward situations that land- ed him into trouble. These situations were however exceedingly hilarious. On one occasion, Tom dirtied his clothes in a ght and his pun- ishment was to whitewash the fence the following day. He cun- ningly got his friends to not only beg to do the work for him but also to pay him for the privilege!
