Tom Sawyer is a "bad kid" and hangs out with other bad kids. He lies, he steals, he runs from home, he manipulates - he can't help it. He even befriends some criminals and outcasts because he loves doing all the bad "stuff".
This is an illustrated and simplified version by the OM Books and it reads easily. I was surprised that I enjoyed this novel because I consider myself a bit judgmental and "strict" when it comes to crimes and mischiefs (I am probably old).
However it was a lot of fun reading this book because all the things that the children did and witnessed were thrilling and actually suspenseful like a crime novel (they witnessed a murdered and they overheard a plan of attempted murder).
Also, despite the tender Tom Sawyer's age - he's in love! This novel has all the necessary elements for intrigue and suspense for junior school children (or everyone who will read it).
