The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain, is a fun and
interesting book. it takes place in a fictional town along the Mississippi
river in the 1840's. it is about a boy named Tom sawyer who loves to play hooky
and go on adventures. The book is inspired by the author’s upbringing. Twain
grew up in Hannibal Missouri. This book has tons of fun adventures in it. Tom
white washing, practicing superstitions, stealing from the sugar bowl and much
more this book was very fun to read.
I loved this book! I love how this book is relatable even though
the times are different. I think that this book would be loved my older kids in
middle school and high school. It made me feel like I was actually there going
through the adventures with tom. I would definitely recommend this book because
it was really interesting and I would love to point out that the love kids
shared then is really different from the way kids share love now. It was also
really cool to see how they dressed differently and had superstitions much more
different from what we have today. This book is must read!
