"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"

One of the most beloved characters of American fiction, Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer is a force of nature, whether he's sneaking out of his Aunt Polly's house at night to visit the graveyard or duping his playmates into whitewashing a fence. Tom Sawyer is known around his small town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, as a playful troublemaker. Tom and his friend Huck Finn enjoy plotting adventures that often leave them in danger. One night, the two boys witness a murder. They agree to keep quiet out of terror but are uncomfortable when a suspect is wrongly accused and the real murderer walks free. Meanwhile, Tom falls out of favor with his sweetheart, Becky, when she learns he was “engaged” to someone else before her. Can Tom win her over? Will he and Huck come forward about the graveyard happenings or let the murderer walk free?
