Celebrate 150 years of mischief, adventure, and Americana with this timeless classic of boyhood and imagination. First published in 1876, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain remains one of the most beloved novels in American literature. Set along the Mississippi River, the story follows the endlessly curious Tom Sawyer as he skips school, plays pranks, falls head over heels for Becky Thatcher, and embarks on daring escapades with his friend Huckleberry Finn.
