Book Descriptions:

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

A hero to his friend and a troublemaker for others, Tom Sawyer is one of Mark Twain's most iconic characters. Living in the imaginary town of St. Petersburg, Missouri, along with Aunt Polly and half-brother Sid, Tom is not fond of school but loves adventures and, of course, Becky Thatcher. Throughout the novel, he gets involved in events from convincing others to do his chores to witnessing a murder, testifying in court, playing pirate, attending his own funeral, and ultimately discovering treasure with Huckleberry Finn. This novel is a celebration of youth and mischief.

Tom Sawyer Abroad & Tom Sawyer, Detective

Published in 1894, Tom Sawyer Abroad features Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in a satire of adventure stories. They embark on extraordinary adventures around the world in a balloon trip. Tom Sawyer, Detective is a mystery involving stolen diamonds and a twin brother, presumed dead, who is a thief and escaped convict. Settle down with a hot beverage and join Tom on a thrilling journey abroad.

The Prince & The Pauper

Pudd'nhead Wilson tells the story of a man who re-establishes his lost reputation by investigating a murder committed by a prominent citizen, highlighting issues of slavery and racism in 19th-century America. The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously, features the adventures of Biblical Satan's nephew, exploring dark religious themes and the ignorance of humankind.

Hank Morgan, a skilled mechanic from 19th-century New England, awakens in King Arthur's Camelot after a head injury. He convinces the court that he is a powerful sorcerer and embarks on modernizing Camelot with electricity and other amenities, while addressing the ugliness of feudalism and slavery.
