Tom Sawyer, Detective

In this classic coming-of-age tale, the hero wants desperately is not the maverick iconoclast that Huck Finn is; his comic battles with prim conformity are essentially harmless. In Tom Sawyer, Twain effectively and lovingly recreates the pastoral world of his Hannibal, Missouri childhood , including a portrait of his brother Henry, who died young in a shipboard explosion, as Tom's younger brother Sid.
