I have recently read an exciting novel. The headline of it is "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer". It was written by Mark Twain. He was a famous American writer of the 19th century. It is a realistic adventure novel with a thrilling plot. The story is set in America. The main character has no parents and he lives with his aunt Polly in a small town on the Mississippi river. Life with Tom is never boring. Something is always happening to him. One day he eats jam and his aunt Polly gives him a big task to paint the fence, but his friends do it instead of him and he gets presents from them. Then he looks for treasure. He falls in love, gets lost and risks his life, but he never gives up. I am sure the book is worth reading as it makes you think. It also teaches to understand kindness and evil. I enjoy it and I advise it to both teenagers and adults.
