Tom lives with his Aunt Polly, half brother Sid, and cousin Mary in an old-fashioned town, St. Petersburg. Unlike Sid, Tom often receives tongue-lashings and punishments from his Aunt Polly when he would rather absent himself from school and sneaks out of the house late at night to join his friend, Huckleberry Finn-the town's social outcast-in his escapades. In school, Tom never gets unnoticed.With his eccentric behavior, he is most interested to catch the attention of one girl- Becky Thatcher-whom he claims he is in love with. Not long after, he ruins his relationship with her and ends up heartbroken. This is followed by a series of amusing events based on Tom's exploits with his friends. These events are later linked together by a scary experience that develops into a life-threatening involvement with a murderer, Injun Joe... Vividly illustrated and set in easy -to-read large front, thiscollector's edition can be enjoyed by young readers today and for generations to come.
