From tricking his friends into painting a fence (for fun!) to crashing his own funeral, Tom is never up to any good, much to Aunt Polly?s regret. He skips school to chase adventures and doesn?t like rules at all. But a spooky night at a graveyard catapults him and his best friend Huck into a world a little more darker, a little less innocent. Mark Twain transports us to a time of steamboats and straw hats, as Tom and his band of followers run past barefoot, plotting daring escapades and wrestling with pangs of conscience. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the enduring tale of learning to distinguish right from wrong in a fast-changing 19th century American town.
