There's no one under the sun like Tom Sawyer!
Preparations are underway for the monthly party, "Bare Feet and a Straw
Hat Never Hurt anybody, an evening with Mark Twain." The gang agrees
that Tom Sawyer should be brought into the Real World. He'd be a
refreshing change after Captain Ahab and Lady D' Winter--much easier to
handle. However, upon arrival, Tom immediately picks a fight with
Walter, falls in love with Ophelia, and continuously attempts to one-up
Linus. When Ophelia is kidnapped, Tom is determined to save her, just
like he did with Becky Thatcher. But the clock is ticking...
Praise for the series:
"A fantasy steeped in classic literature...narrator Bartholomew Inkster
brings Lemony Snicket-like irony to frame the story....References to
literature throughout the narrative make this a feast for middle-grade
book lovers. Kids who like quirky adventure stories with idiosyncratic
characters will enjoy a simpler kind of fun." - Publishers Weekly
Praise for Saving Moby Dick
*...*Generously infused with animating elements of mystery, romance and
comedy--plus a particularly lively and diverse supporting cast of
grown-ups. -Kirkus
