{"product_id":"mark-twains-adventures-of-tom-sawyer-the-newsouth-edition-9781603062336","title":"Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer: The Newsouth Edition","description":"In a radical departure from standard editions, the coming-of-age story that introduces Mark Twain's two most enduring literary characters--Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn--is published here with its disturbing racial labels translated as \"slave\" and \"Indian.\" Everything else is completely intact in a novel that Twain termed a \"hymn to boyhood.\" Tom and Huck fish and swim in the Mississippi River, search for buried treasure, and hide in a haunted house. Around the edges of this idyllic boy-life, however, loom dangerous events in the fictional village of St. Petersburg: Tom and Huck witness a midnight murder in a graveyard, the killer escapes from the courtroom while Tom is testifying, and two sinister villains plot robbery and revenge against a wealthy widow. Readers can follow the boys' adventures without confronting the dozens of racial slurs that are available in other editions of the book. The editor supplies a historical and literary introduction as well as a guide to Twain's satirical targets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e NewSouth Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603062336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e135395 \/ Adventures of Tom Sawyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alan Gribben","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661506310300,"sku":"9781603062336","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a75bc734-de6e-4b7c-b39a-db338c1854d2.jpg?v=1603899632","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mark-twains-adventures-of-tom-sawyer-the-newsouth-edition-9781603062336","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
