Tom Sawyer is a boy amongst rambunctious boys. He loves to get "engaged" to new girls and wreak havoc whenever possible. However, when he teams up with another wayward boy named Huckleberry Finn the adventures he has are beyond his wildest imaginations. He witnesses a murder and is on the run, with his good buddy Huck, for much of the novel. The boys find themselves living big when an unexpected discovery occurs in a cave.
Twain proves his passion for writing in another novel that is highly appealing to tween boys. This novel, much like Huckleberry Finn, has provided a great deal of debatable fodder for book banning. However, this novel does provide a fine example of boyhood imagination and adventures that should stand alone in its appeal without the ridicule it has repeatedly received.
