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.

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.

This book had a good plot but it moves very slowly so if you aren't patient
don't read this. Ashley W.
