Tom Sawyer

"“Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn” were on the shortlist."

"Then I discovered Mark Twain with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Tom Sawyer is still my all-time favorite literary hero."

"Since I went to an American secular high school in Istanbul, Robert College, I've read "Tom Sawyer" as required reading, as well as "A Separate Peace" and "To Kill a Mockingbird," enjoying the democratic and egalitarian spirit of these books."
