A hero to his friend and a troublemaker for others, Tom Sawyer is one of Mark Twain's most iconic characters of all times.
Tom lives in the imaginary town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, along with Aunt Polly and half-brother Sid. Tom is not fond of school but loves all kinds of adventures and, of course, Becky Thatcher.
Throughout the novel, Tom gets involved in all kinds of events-from convincing others to do his job to creating chaos in the church witnessing the murder of Dr Robinson, testifying against the murderer in court, playing pirate, attending his own funeral and utimately discovering treasure with Huckleberry Finn.
The novel is indeed a celebration of youth and mischief in the truest sense.
