The Adventures of Tom Sawyer : With Connections by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and the gladness went out of nature, and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. HRW Library - "with connections" meaning the books have all the original text from the original book; but are editions that have additional study materials bound into them like a reader's guide with questions. Great for school age children grades 6 - 12. Top choice of homeschools.
