When Tom witnesses a murder, he finds himself in big trouble. Will the wrong man be punished for the crime? And will Tom and his friends escape the real killer? Tom Sawyer always seems to get into scrapes, to the despair of his Aunt Polly. One night with his friend Huckleberry Finn, he witnesses a murder in the graveyard. Injun Joe manages to escape before he is caught, but Tom knows he will return. While exploring a spooky haunted house, Tom and Huck discover that Injun Joe has buried a treasure chest full to bursting with gold coins! Even if it means getting lost in the caves, they are determined to find the riches...Carefully retold in clear contemporary language, and presented with delightful illustrations, these favourite classic stories will capture the heart and imagination of young readers. By retelling the story in a shorter, simpler form, children will find these books highly engaging, and the colour illustrations help with both comprehension and interest level.
