SynopsisWhether it’s fishing with Huckleberry Finn, convincing his friends to whitewash Aunt Polly’s fence, or falling in love with Becky Thatcher, nobody loves life more than the irascible Tom Sawyer. Then one night in a spooky graveyard Tom and his best friend Huckleberry Finn stumble upon a deadly secret. Will Tom and Huck be able to save Muff Potter from the murderous treachery of Injun Joe? Or will they meet their own end in the cold confines of Jackson’s cave? As Tom and Huck embark on the greatest adventure of their life, they learn that man’s greatest treasure isn’t gold, but the gift of friendship. |
