In TOM SAWYER ABROAD, Tom, Huck Finn and Jim are swept out of St. Louis on a balloon they were admiring at a fair. They fly to Africa, where lions, Bedouins, sand storms, and mirages test their courage, which abounds, and their common sense, which is on occasion, absent. They return home to tell quite a tale!

TOM SAWYER DETECTIVE involves stolen jewels, treachery, and murder. Tom's Uncle Silas confesses to the murder, but Tom does some investigating of his own and he and Huck are the heroes as they solve this exciting mystery.
