Sneaking into a graveyard and accidentally watching a murder scene, having fun in a remote island while his family thought he’d dead, mischievously tricking friends into finishing dull tasks, searching for a treasure in a haunted house ... why, those were sort of things only Tom Sawyer could accomplish!
Alongside comrade Huckleberry Finn, Tom would always be ready to have crafty adventures. Even so, Tom Sawyer did carry a heart of gold, a character so dear to friends, family, neighbors, and centuries of readers.
