description: This is Mark Twain's entertaining story of sprightly Tom Sawyer, friend of Huckleberry Finn. A boy made for mischief, Tom constantly grieves his Aunt Polly with his cunning tricks to get out of school and to lead an idle life of swimming and larkingby the banks of the Mississippi. His escapades vary from whitewashing a fence to witnessing a murder and from running away to be a pirate to hunting by night for buried treasure.
