I know it's a shame right. But I had thought I would have to read in school, and never did. But sounds like a great read. :) Thanks Simcha!Melissa (My World...in words and pages)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09621830513280969319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-90016299300639474402011-08-04T15:55:30.282-05:002011-08-04T15:55:30.282-05:00Tom Sawyer was one of my childhood friends as well...Tom Sawyer was one of my childhood friends as well. I read his Adventures 3-4 times as a kid, but never ventured down river with his pal Huck until just a few years ago.<br /><br />Tom is the definition or idealized version of the American boy, and you gave him a great tribute!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-10568638382892207692011-08-04T06:01:41.362-05:002011-08-04T06:01:41.362-05:00Stephanie: I have to admit that I spent a lot of m...Stephanie: I have to admit that I spent a lot of my childhood getting into mischief.

Though I probably enjoyed it a lot more when I was younger, and could relate to Tom, than I would now. Perhaps you can read it with your son in a couple of years.<br />Thanks for inviting me to participate! It was a lot of fun. Perhaps I'll start doing this meme again on my blog.Simchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14730042073954228379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-46026866832936058412011-08-03T08:36:28.517-05:002011-08-03T08:36:28.517-05:00Ryan, you really need to read this one!
