Tom Sawyer

This is a classic book by Mark Twain. The original is hard to understand and uses a lot of complicated words, but if you get the revised version for children, it's pretty good.The story is about a young boy named Tom who is very mischievous. He has a lot of adventures and get-rich-quick schemes that almost always end in disaster. The most memorable is when he and his homeless friend Huckleberry Finn went to the graveyard to look around. They were surprised by grave robbers, and immediately hid to watch them, thinking it was going to be fun. They ended up watching a man be murdered and another man framed by the killer. After swearing each other to secrecy, they went home to be plagued by nightmares. Eventually, Tom could stand the guilt no longer, and showed up at the courthouse to give his testimony. The killer was put behind bars.
