Have you ever longed to be young again? Have you ever felt a nostalgic yearning to go back to the days of your childhood and recapture the thrills and joys of that period? Based on the classic, beloved American novel by Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer tells the story of young Tom and his uproarious adventures, ranging from the famous whitewashing scene to the discovery of hidden treasure, the rescue of Becky Thatcher, and the sad demise of Joe.
