| Summary/Abstract |
Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy with an undying hunger for adventure, and a knack for getting into trouble. He lives with his Aunt Polly in the Mississippi River town of St Petersburg, Missouri. He plays hooky from school; hangs around with Huck Finn, the unsophisticated son of the village drunkard; and deceives his friends into trading their treasures with him.
Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new arrival in town, who returns his affection initially, and even agrees to an 'engagement'. However, after a slip of the tongue from Tom, she walks off in a huff.
From innocent and imaginary adventures, Tom's life suddenly takes a new turn. One night, while Tom and Huck Finn are in a graveyard, they witness an incident they should not have. Terrified, they flee from the spot, and swear a blood oath that they will never reveal their secret to anyone.
Tom and Huck then find themselves entangled in a series of real and exciting adventures, with dangerous men constantly at their heels.
Can the boys stand up to the occasion, and become real-life heroes? Will they ever be able to reclaim their normal, carefree lives again?

| Summary/Abstract |
Mowgli wanders away from his village in India and is raised by a pack of wolves until he returns home and meets his mother, Messua. He knows nothing of human language or customs. His father was killed by a tiger, Shere Kahn. Mowgli learns how to speak and captivates Mahala, Budelo’s daughter, with tales of the jungle and his animal friends. While tracking Shere Kahn down to kill him, he and Mahala discover the remains of a lost civilization. When they return and tell of their find, Budelo wants Mowgli to reveal where the treasure is, but he refuses. Budelo convinces the villagers that Mowgli is an infidel and they sentence him to be burned at the stake, but he escapes into the jungle. A pack of villagers chase him, but all except Budelo die.
