[Synopsis]
This book is rewritten from “Adventures of Tom Sawyer” by the famous American writer Mark Twain (1835 - 1910).
Tom Sawyer is a naughty but good-hearted boy. He lives in his aunt’s house with his half-brother Sid. Like many boys of his age, he hates school, and hopes to live a life of adventures.
Tom’s real adventure begins one night when he and Huck Finn accidentally witness a murder case. They are so terrified that they swear never to tell. The real murderer is the cruel Indian Joe, but the innocent man, Muff Potter, is arrested.
Can the boys keep quiet about the murder?
