Tom Sawyer has a good heart, but trouble just seems to find him. Somehow. Repeatedly. Chock full of rousing adventure, peril (both real and imagined), philosophical musings and clever, wry humor, this Twain classic remains an enjoyable read. Some of the 1870s language can be challenging to parse, though it's worth rereading passages several times if needed, and some is definitely uncomfortable through our 21st-century lens, but overall Twain's ingenious and winking-to-the-reader writing style make this an amusing and entertaining read.
