Tom Sawyer is by far my favorit fictional character and this book is the first place were he appeared in.
the book is about a boy (Tom Sawyer) growing up along the Mississippi River. It is set in the 1840s in the town of St. Petersburg, which is based on Hannibal, Missouri, where the author Mark Twain lived as a boy.
In my openion the sequal (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) is a better one but you must read this one first in order to get the best out of it.
