With its lively, fun narrative and irrepressible hero, Tom Sawyer is tailor-made for the graphic novel form. Just imagine such classic moments as Tom and Becky in the bat-filled cave or the hilarious fence-painting incident captured in bright and atmospheric images. Author Tim Mucci and artist Rad Sechrist, one of the most talented up-and-coming comics illustrators today, have endowed each character with personality and each scene with movement and energy. Every frame is filled with such detail—from the buildings to the carefully created backgrounds—that readers will feel as if they could step right into Twain’s wonderful world.

An All-Action Classic of an All-American Hero,
By
This review is from: All-Action Classics No. 2: Tom Sawyer (Paperback)
In this graphic adaptation of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain (1876), Tom gets into more trouble than any boy this side of the Mississippi River - except maybe his best friend Huckleberry Finn. What better way to introduce classic characters like Tom and Huck to young readers than through the contemporary style of graphic novels? This popular comic book format is designed to reach a wider audience so that more can enjoy classic literature.
Poor Aunt Polly can't keep track of Tom. He'd do anything to get out of doing his chores and going to school - like going pole fishing, swimming, or hunting for buried treasure. What is unique about the graphic novel format is that readers get to see the story come to life frame by frame. This version features many of the adventures from the original book. Tom tricks his friends into whitewashing his fence (Aunt Polly's punishment to Tom for skipping school). Tom also gets threatened by an angry Injun Joe and his gang and finds himself trapped in the underground cave with Becky Thatcher. At the end of the book is a fascinating look at the life and adventures of the author Samuel Clemens (alias Mark Twain). With original sketches from the cartoonist mixed throughout, this brief biography shares insight on the real people and events that inspired Twain's stories. Recommended reading for comic book fans and fans of classic literature alike.

Great intro to a classic,

This review is from: All-Action Classics No. 2: Tom Sawyer (Paperback)
My son is 8 years old and he just finished this book. He loved it and is now passing it around his third grade class, because other children want to read it to.
I think it is a great intro to a classic book.
