The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain tells the story of a mischievous boy named Tom Sawyer who lives with his Aunt Polly in St. Petersburg, Missouri in the 19th century. Tom tricks his friends into whitewashing his fence by convincing them it's fun, when it's actually a chore he was supposed to do as punishment. The book has been challenged by some parents for its portrayal of topics like racism and sexuality, though others believe it remains an important classic of American literature.
