Tom Sawyer, Detective

Mark Twain

Book Overview: 

Tom Sawyer, Detective is a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Tom Sawyer Abroad. Tom Sawyer attempts to solve a mysterious murder in this burlesque of the immensely popular detective novels of the time. Tom and Huck find themselves with Uncle Silas and his family again (see “Huck Finn”), and much of the drama ends up focusing on Uncle Silas. Like the two preceding novels, the story is told using the first-person narrative voice of Huck Finn.

Book Excerpt: 
. . .If there'd been three—But never mind about that, there warn't three. I loafed along the back streets studying and studying. And I says to myself, I'll hog them di'monds the first chance I get, and I'll have a disguise all ready, and I'll give the boys the slip, and when I'm safe away I'll put it on, and then let them find me if they can. So I got the false whiskers and the goggles and this countrified suit of clothes, and fetched them along back in a hand-bag; and when I was passing a shop where they sell all sorts of things, I got a glimpse of one of my pals through the window. It was Bud Dixon. I was glad, you bet. I says to myself, I'll see what he buys. So I kept shady, and watched. Now what do you reckon it was he bought?"

"Whiskers?" said I.

"No."

"Goggles?"

"No."

"Oh, keep still, Huck Finn, can't you, you're only just hendering all you can. What WAS it he bought, Jake?"

Tom Sawyer is pining for excitement:

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are back again and there is a murder mystery. I love this duo but I like Tom Sawyer a bit more though.

The mystery isn't anything spectacular but it is entertaining enough. I didn't much like Huck's POV but the writing is pretty good.

It is not as good as the first two

This is a novella featuring Tom Sawyer at his best. The events are related by Huck Finn. The boys have to go back to Arkansas & help their Uncle Silas & Aunt Sally who are in quite a pickle. By sheer coincidence, they run into the man that helps them unlock the mystery & Tom Sawyer has his day in co

This story was a further adventure of Tom and Huck and it takes place after “Huckleberry Finn”.

Gotta love Tom and Huck!

Tom Sawyer Detective. Wow.
Ever seen the Bad News Bears? Walter Matthau and Tatum O'Neal? Pretty good movie. Then they came out with Bad News Bears, Breaking Training and then Bad News Bears Go To Japan. Tom Sawyer Detective serves as the "Bad News Bears Go to Japan" installment of the Tom/Huck fran

Нормальный детектив для детей! По крайней мере, моему младшему брату очень понравилось. До такой степени понравилось, что он не отставал от меня, пока я не дочитал книгу до конца (крайне редкий случай!!!!). Это всё было когда я (вернее, мы) читал книгу в первый раз. Сейчас же я её перечитал в оригин
