The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (published 1876) is a very well-known and popular story concerning American youth. Mark Twain’s lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs during class, impressing girls, especially Becky Thatcher, with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River.
One of the most famous incidents in the book describes how Tom persuades his friends to do a boring, hateful chore for him: whitewashing (i.e., painting) a fence.

If you are a boy between the ages of 8 and 13 years, then this book may be able to seriously hook you on reading. So much so, that it may change your life.
Read the book. It won't take long if you honestly make the effort. You won't be sorry.

It's the story of a young boy in the 1800's in the United States. My suggestion would be for you to get hold of a copy and read it for yourself. Well worth the effort.

It's about loyalty and friendship and loss of innocence and being true to oneself. Read it for yourself- it's worth it.
