On the banks of the Mississippi, Tom Sawyer, a mischievous boy brought up by his Aunt Polly, prefers adventure to school. As a punishment, he has to whitewash a long fence, and he manages to get his friends to hand over their treasures for the right to paint it for him. One night, with his friend Huckleberry Finn, he secretly witnesses a murder in the graveyard.
Running away to an island, a treasure hunt, a cave where you get lost: this is the great novel of a free childhood, funny and a little frightening, and you never forget it.
Full of humour and lively dialogue, it is easy to read in the language you are learning.
