Amity The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

One of the best loved books of Mark Twain, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is acknowledged as one of the greatest pieces of American fiction and is as popular today as it was when first published in 1876. Set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, Tom Sawyer is an exuberant tale of youthful adventures, and recounts the escapades of Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn. Replete with stunts in the schoolyard, pranks to impress girls, a haunted house, getting lost in a cave and playing pirates on the Mississippi river, the novel illustrates Twain's exceptional ability to capture the idylls of boyhood in a vivid and dramatic manner. The series, AUP Classics Retold, endeavours to encourage reading habits in children and inculcate the love of books from an early age. This series is planned for children from ages 7 to 14+ and is graded from Level 1 to 6.
