Considered an American classic, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain is a bold coming of age story about a clever school boy who loves to make trouble and goes in search for it much too often. In this boisterous tale, Tom Sawyer finds forever friendships, new love, and a tragic secret that leads him into even more trouble than he could ever imagine for himself. Though it was Twain’s first novel written by himself, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’s" comedy and caricature commentary of social problems make it a masterpiece that is still enjoyed today. It is an ageless novel about searching for treasure and finding something that you may not have thought to look for.
