Timeless. So much fun to take a trip back to your youth when you your biggest worry was bartering for ticks and dead cats. A story that never gets old.
The beginning of all the Tom and Huck adventures, with the boy Tom Sawyer who befriends Huck Finn, and creates mischief all over town and in school, before coming into a large fortune of money.
I enjoyed this story more than I did Adventures of Huck Finn, however they were both about the same, except one boy is mannered and the other is wild, and their adventures of are different sorts.
It’s hard to see why this one didn’t make it on the 1,001 Books list when Huck Finn did, as they are both amazing journey’s.

So, we have been on a road trip along the Mississippi River and staying/seeing things that have to do with Mark Twain. I read Tom Sawyer in grade school and loved it. However, my British husband didn’t have this as required reading. So, he saw that this was narrated by Nick Offerman aka the man, the myth, the legend Ron Swanson and he wanted this for our next Roadtrip read. I was excited to read it again as an adult.
It’s a classic for a reason. I loved Adventures of Huckleberry Finn better, but Tom Sawyer still good. Still holds after all this time. Still makes me laugh and cringe. And Nick was wonderful as the narration. He was made for this story.

Don't read it yourself.. LISTEN to it.
It is fantastic! His voice is superb! His reading style is PERFECT. And Mark Twain's writing and humor are just soul-tickling. 💗😊💗
