The Adventures of Tom Sawyer follows the boyish adventures of Tom Sawyer and his friends as they grow up in the small, fictional town of St. Petersburg, located along the Mississippi River. Tom’s wild and superstitious imagination leads him to perilous escapades with Huck Finn and run-ins with grave robbers, murderers, and dark caves. This classic adventure story has been designed and illustrated by Lauren Lee as part of a social venture project to raise money for literacy charities.
