Mischievous boy's coming of age story.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a classic tale about a mischievous boy named Tom who enjoys playing pranks with his friends. However, after witnessing a murder, Tom begins to mature and becomes more aware of his own morality. This book is perfect for those who enjoy coming of age stories and appreciate a glimpse into the past. Twain's writing style is both entertaining and thought-provoking, as he satirises society's moral rigidity while giving a nostalgic portrayal of a young boy's journey into adulthood.
