In the adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain recalls his own boyhood experiences and those of his schoolmates- a humourous perspective of carefree days. Tom Sawyer and his friends play truant from school and set off for an island near their home town. Here they decide to play pirates but their game is interrupted when they witness a murder. Tom has to grow up very quickly and do the right thing. The murderer will kill them if they tell the truth. What should they do? The boys decide to search for the murderer's treasure. What risks will they take? Who else will they endanger? Will they have the courage and quick thinking to escape from dark caverns, cross the mighty Mississippi, and outwit the criminals? Will they find what they are looking for?

Mark Twain's best known books are Tom Sawyer, and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
