Boyhood adventure and the adult world

Tom Sawyer’s pranks and escapades—including the whitewashed fence episode—provide the framework for a novel that also takes up dishonesty, superstition, murder, revenge, starvation, and slavery. That contrast gives the adventure story a broader view of the society around its young protagonist. This Penguin Classics edition includes a new introduction by Mark Twain scholar R. Kent Rasmussen; the book is presented in English in an unabridged paperback edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic American fiction and boyhood adventure stories.
  • Readers seeking a novel that pairs humorous escapades with themes of social hardship and injustice.

On the banks of the Mississippi River, Tom Sawyer and his friends seek out adventure at every turn. Then one fateful night in the graveyard they witness a murder. The boys make a blood oath never to reveal the secret, and they run away to be pirates in search of hidden treasure. But when Tom gets trapped in a cave with scary Injun Joe, can he escape unharmed?
