During their ride downriver on the way to visit Tom's Uncle Silas, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn encounter a series of mysterious clues - stolen diamonds, a mysterious stranger, manhunters, and others. When the boys encounter an acquaintance who's being pursued by a dangerous pair of thugs, Tom breaks out the mail-order detective kit he's been itching to put to use. This less well known tale of Tom Sawyer, as narrated by Huck Finn, has been largely forgotten by the reading public. This edition is printed in specially-designed large type for easier reading, and is printed on non-glare paper.
