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.
This was the first novel to be written on a typewriter.

Well read. I am from Germany and understood every word! Thanks you for reading this book in such a beautiful way. And the story is really interesting. In my Generation we had a lot less freedom as kids. I don't know whether this was a good thing or a bad one.

I loved the book and all the quirky superstition that came along with them to name a reason. Definitely worth a few moments of your time.
