Tom Sawyer lives with Aunt Polly in the Mississippi River town of St Petersburg, where school, church and household discipline compete with games, courtship and elaborate plans for adventure. His friendship with Huckleberry Finn takes a dangerous turn when the boys witness a murder in a graveyard.
Fear of the killer keeps Tom silent while an innocent man faces conviction. The story moves from comic childhood rebellion to questions of courage and responsibility, then into a cave where Tom and Becky Thatcher become trapped and the unresolved crime returns. Twain drew many incidents from his own Missouri childhood and from boys he had known.
