Shannon C. (egal) - reviewed on 10/16/2013 + 29 more book reviews

This is an abridged version with many pen and ink illustrations. It begins with a note about Mark Twain and contains 8 chapters, each being about 10 pages long more or less. Perfect for about age 8 to 11.

Filled with school-skipping mischief, grave-robbing murder, drunken savages, romantic scheming, courtroom drama, and hidden treasures.

Here is a sampling of some of the bigger vocabulary words: spectacles, adventurous, kindling, whitewashing, mortified, ruffian, vagrant, corpse, conscience, smoldering, and prosecution.
