  The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
HappyHomemaker of Oregon, 4/6/2011
An fun, well-written tale about a naughty boy, penned by Mark Twain, who obviously loved being a naughty boy!
Tom Sawyer is being raised by his aunt, a proper and pious woman. Tom, however, chaffs under her constraints and is always really for fun, for trouble, and anything in between!
I read this as a child and have enjoyed it several times since. I highly recommend it!
