I don't know how my mother managed this,but every summer atternoon atter lunch site sent my brothers and me to our rooms to nap or read. It was the rule. We went. we read. We sometimes napped.

It was difficult to do. We spent summers at my father's childhood home beside a beautiful creek in the green, fresh countryside of Pennsylvania. To John, Frank, and me it was an unbearable hardship to be locked away from that bright world for even an hour.

...

Tom Sawyer's a legend. He tricks other kids into doing his chores. He fakes his own death and gets to attend his own funeral. He has a frightening adventure in a pirate haunted cave. And when he teams up with his friend Huck Finn, the trouble doubles.

Tom Sawyer hates boredom. So he makes life as exciting as possible for everyone！
