The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is by Mark Twain. Classic Americana at its best! A must read for everyone, especially young boys. The engaging tale of Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and Becky Thatcher growing up in turn of the century Hannibal, Missouri. It has everything from tricking your friends into doing your chores, to loving the girl next door, hating school, hiding in the graveyard with your best friend, exploring caves, to witnessing a murder and doing the right thing. A true classic and a must read! This is a historical fiction period piece and does use the word "nigger" as it was used at that time in history. It also uses the dialect of the period which can be hard for some modern teens to readily grasp.
Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
