The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

This book is about a young boy named Tom.  He doesn't like to do work and is always playing hooky and getting into trouble.  This book starts out by white-washing a fence and ends up with a murder, a special friend, and a trial.  Tom gets into a lot of trouble.  If you want adventure and comedy all rolled into one, then you should read this book.  Believe me, you won't regret it!  Mollie T.

I would recommend this book if you are looking for culture in the late 1800s.  Tom lives in a small town and it explains his life.  It somewhat is almost like ours at that age, but you can tell how our culture has changed.  This book was great!  I thought it was interesting and fun.  I would recommend this to any person in any age group.  Madie P.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

This is a good book that I would recommend to a person who is looking for an adventure in an olden time period.  It is a good book overall, but it's pretty confusing in the middle part.  The ending is great, but yet still confusing.  Madie P.

A very good book.  It is a very adventurous and fast moving book.  The language is written as spoken in the south.  Highly recommended.  Lisa P.
