The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' is the most famous young adult novel by American writer Mark Twain.

Tom Sawyer lives in St. Petersburg along the Mississippi River with his aunt and half-brother. He's not a well-behaved and quiet boy — he's definitely a little rascal. Mark Twain introduces readers to a child's world of adventures, full of fun and imagination. It's also an encounter with the first real problems — like first love, injustice, and friendship put to the test.

'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' is essential reading both for every teenager — to show a picture of youth without smartphones and the Internet, and for adults — as a reminder of the magical time of childhood.
