The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived. Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. Tom dirties his clothes in a fight and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses, redeeming them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the superintendent who thought "it was simply preposterous that this boy had warehoused two thousand sheaves of Scriptural wisdom on his premises—a dozen would strain his capacity, without a doubt." Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get "engaged" by kissing him. But their romance collapses when she learns Tom has been "engaged" previously to Amy Lawrence. Shortly after Becky shuns him, he accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night, where they witness the murder of Dr. Robinson.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Mark Twain Books Reviews
- Bought it for my nephew for Christmas, Kids need the classics!
- Tiny print
- Always a great read
- Nice edition.
- Love that book and am sharing with my grandson
- I really liked this book, but I go to randall middle school and we have to do reading counts for mrs.Devivo, and i am Isaac Lange, and the adventures of tom sawyer, and the book is not on there. Thats all but the boook was amazing ) ) ) ) ) In this book, Mark Twain writes"Then Tom girded up his loins, so to speak, and went to work to 'get his verses." This explains how tom is trying to impress everyone and especially that girl he likes in his class by reciting verses. Also, alot of boys at that time frame did that because it was the best way to win girls.
- I'm a read-aloud Mom with a family of boys. I like Tom Sawyer just medium -- more and more as the years go by, but it's still not my favorite book.
Out of my kids, one really likes the book and has read it several times himself, but no one else enjoys it that much.
This is a bargain basement edition - size, paper quality, and style all reflect the low price. Still, it's the words that matter.
