Tom Sawyer is a boy who is full of adventures. In his world there is an
adventure around every corner. Some of his adventures have lead him into some
bad situations but with his good heart and bright mind he has gotten out of them.
Tom lives with his aunt Polly, his cousin Mary and his bother Sid.

knew, he would for sure kill them. Tom wrote on a wooden board “Huck Finn and
Tom Sawyer swear to keep mum about this and they wish they may drop down dead in
their tracks if they ever tell and rot”, then in their own blood they signed
their initials TS and HF.
A few days after that incident Tom, Huck and Joe decided to go and
become pirates because no one cared for their company anymore. They stole some
food and supplies and then they stole a raft and paddled to an island in the
middle of the Mississippi River. They stayed and pirated for several days, then
they all became so home sick that they could not bear it anymore. The next day
Tom, Huck, and Joe showed up for their own funerals and there was much thanks

The next big event in the town was the trial of Muff Potter for the
