    The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

    By Mark Twain

    Introduction
    Tom Sawyer just wants to have fun. He isnt interested in what hes supposed to do: go to school, study the Bible, or do chores. He is interested in tricking his friends into doing his chores playing that he is a pirate exploring caves

    Tom is often joined on his adventures by Huckleberry Finn, the son of the towns drunkard, and by Joe Harper, Toms best friend. Tom also spends a lot of time trying to win the affections of Becky Thatcher, the new girl in town. Sometimes he accidentally involves her in his adventures.

    And sometimes Toms fun turns dangerous, such as when he and Huck witness a murder. Can Tom find a way to do the right thing while still having his fun and games?

    Background
    The real town of Hannibal and the fictional town of St. Petersburg are located on the banks of the Mississippi River.
    Both are near islands and caves, which provide adventurous children with lots of places to play.

    What kinds of adventures did you have as a child? How do you think they will compare with Toms? Do you think American children have more or fewer chances for adventures now than they did in the 1840s? Why?
