The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is about
a young boy who cares more about adventures than school. It was published by Samuel
Clements under the name of Mark Twain in 1876.
The main
character, Tom, is a playful child who does not like to sit still but is intelligent and
enjoys adventures. He is constantly scheming to avoid work, and hangs out with the
local juvenile pariah, Huck Finn. He lives with his Aunt Polly and his brother
Sid.
The book is jolly good fun, and mostly a series of
adventures and misadventures for young Tom. Then things get a little serious when the
villain Injun Joe targets Tom after he witnesses a murder, and he gets lost in a cave
looking for treasure.
