One of my favorite books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. The story happens in a town in the US. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures （冒险）.
Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. One day, Tom discovers the secret of a bad man named Injun Joe, so the bad man is looking for him. Tom firstly runs away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Later, he runs into a cave（山洞）with a friend. They find Injun Joe's treasure box unexpectedly and arrive home safely with it.
My favorite part of the book is when Tom and his friend start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But hearing that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry. So they come back home. When they suddenly appear, the family and neighbors are surprised to see them, but very pleased to find that they are alive.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book. First of all, it tells a wonderful adventure story. It also tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people p for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.
