Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers.
The Silver Fox Patrol are starting a new adventure down in the swamp of Louisiana. This trip is an important one to Thad, because they are looking for his long lost little sister, Pauline.

LibriVox recording of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Read by John Greenman. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (published 1876) is a very well-known and popular story concerning American youth. Mark Twain's lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs during class, impressing girls, with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi river. (Summary from Wikipedia)
To see a beautiful scan of Tom Sawyer, see this version in the Internet Archive's American Libraries collection.
