The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
reviewed by Nati
Tom Sawyer is a very adventurous and funny book at the same time. It is a classic book, but it is still interesting to today's readers.
Tom starts out as a troublesome boy. He comes late to classes and tricks people into doing his chores for him. He went to a graveyard to cast a spell that will cure warts, he got stuck in a cave with his crush named Becky Thatcher, and he followed a criminal mastermind to steal a treasure with his best friend Huckleberry Finn. At the end Tom and Huck got the treasure and split it in half and were rich.
I learned that money changes people's identity. At the end Huck did not get used to his new life, so he gave up his share of money to Tom and then Tom started treating Huck badly. The ending is a bit sad.
