Mark Twain is regarded as one of best American writers of nineteenth century. He had written a number of young adult adventure fictions that are still loved by the young readers worldwide. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous classic adventure fictions. The main two characters in this novel are Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Tom is portrayed as a very clever and adventure-loving young boy who lives with his aunt on the banks of the Mississippi river. The other character Huckleberry Finn is a very messy looking, poor, yet freedom-loving, free-spirited young boy from the same area. Tom and Huck Finn builds strong friendship and embark upon various adventures - from being in a graveyard at midnight to witnessing a murder by a native American; from running away and ending up in a cave near by the Mississippi river to suddenly reappearing when the town prepares their funeral accepting that that they are no longer alive. A timeless classic, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has been a favourite adventure novel for children and young adult alike and will remain so for a long time to come.
