　　The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
　　Here is our monthly article on a favourite great book. This month, our guest writer is Mr. Jackson.
　　My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave, and finally, they find a box of gold.

　　Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the Southern states of America in the 19th century, s
