THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER

Tom met new a girl and she liked him a lot. It was Becky Thatcher, a daughter of a local judge. Another new character in this book is Huckleberry Finn, the son of the towns drunker. He is homeless, doesn’t go to school, and lives a wild life.

Once, at midnight, Tom and Huck went into the graveyard. They hear somebody is coming and hide. It was Dr. Robinson with two criminals. They were stealing bodies from the grave. One of them murdered Dr. Robinson, and Tom and Huck run away, fearing for their lives. 

 Tom decided to leave Aunt Polly because Becky was not paying attention to him. When he sneaks into the house to leave a message to his aunt that he is alive, he overhears his aunt and cousins crying and talking about funeral plans for him and Huck. In the middle of the funeral, they come out of hiding and everybody is happy. 

During the summer Tom and Huck go looking for treasure. But, they find one of the criminals from the graveyard again. They discover that he has a big treasure. They decide to spy on him and try to steal it. All the children go on a picnic to McDougal's Cave. Tom and Becky get lost.

I still like this book even though I sometimes read it a little harder. The language in this book is old-fashion and many words are abbreviated.
