Description
Read this 19th-century childhood adventure story that confronts the reality of racism in America.
'There comes a time in every boy's life when when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure'
Impish, daring young Tom Sawyer is a hero to his friends and a torment to his relations. For wherever there is mischief or adventure, Tom is at the heart of it. During one hot summer, Tom witnesses a murder, runs away to be a pirate, attends his own funeral, rescues an innocent man from the gallows, searches for treasure in a haunted house, foils a devilish plot and discovers a box of gold. But can he escape his nemesis, the villainous Injun Joe?

Advance Praise
This classic story will stay with you through life, and always remind
you of the things that you knew were important when you first read it
Independent
Whet juvenile appetites with Tom, his entrepreneurial spirit and his
taste for treasure-hunting adventure. A paean to true boyhood
Guardian
Twain had a gift for reliving the innermost feelings of growing up, the
insecurity, fears and hopes that lie beneath the swagger that young boys
maintain. He turned them into literature
