THE STORY

Tom Sawyer is a kid who doesn't like school and who prefers to enjoy playing on the banks of the river. His aunt Polly is very worried because he always gets in trouble. But Tom is a rebellious and adventurous child with a big heart. He spends his days with his best friend, Huckleberry Finn. The two friends like to fish, sleep, eat and play at being pirates. One day, they find a mysterious treasure in a cemetery. They decide to hide it in a cave, but a very dangerous murderer will follow them.

THE MAIN CHARACTERS

Tom Sawyer is a young boy who lives near the Mississippi River. He is easy-going, peaceful and a bit naughty. He always skips school classes and goes to play. His biggest dream is to be a pirate in search of great treasures.

He is an orphan who has been raised by his aunt Polly. Huckleberry Finn, like Tom, is a boy who does not like going to school. He prefers to relax and whistle. He has pimples on his face, but he is convinced that he will be a millionaire and that no one will care. Huck is clumsy and not as clever as Tom, but he’s determined and brave.
