It is one of the four famous works of Mark Twain.The novel describes the innocent and romantic life of a group of children headed by Tom Sawyer.They have made various adventures in order to get rid of the boring homework, false teachings and rigid living environment.

Tom is a clever and active child, who embodies many talents such as wisdom, strategy, justice, bravery and even leadership in him.He is a collection of multiple characters, resourceful, sympathetic, disgusted with the real environment, and determined to break out of the shackles, become a green forest hero, and live a life of chivalry.

It can make "adults think of themselves in those days, their emotions, thoughts, speeches and some incredible practices at that time."
