“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” is a novel by American author Mark Twain, published by the publisher Collins. The character in this novel is a teenage boy named Tom Sawyer who and what the author wants to convey to the reader. This novel tells a lot about a cheerful childhood. That said, the stories in it are based on Mark Twain's own experience, along with the characters in it. Fresh and full of imagination, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” recalls the childish soul within the reader. This kid is really naughty. It's just what he did, one time his fun brought a strange problem. He has to deal with cunning criminals. In fact, the criminal managed to trap Tom in a cave. Tom didn't want to lose his shrewdness. If he manages to get out, not only himself will survive, but also his friends, and more importantly the girl he loves. It tells how well Tom Sawyer influences his friends, who willingly and without pressure do what he wants. The problem discussed is that the characters in this novel are analyzed from the point of view of their moral and psychological development. Mark Twain, through the main character, Tom Sawyer, actually wanted to criticize the hypocrisy of society at that time with the story in the novel.
During one of his several adventurous voyages in the 1600s, an Englishman becomes the sole survivor of a shipwreck and lives for nearly thirty years on a deserted island. Illustrated notes throughout the text explain the historical background of the story.

The Wind in the Willows

The Wind in the Willows is a children's novel by Kenneth Grahame, first published in 1908. Alternately slow moving and fast paced, it focuses on four anthropomorphised animals in a pastoral version of England. The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames valley. In 1908 Grahame retired from his position as secretary of the Bank of England. He moved back to Cookham, Berkshire, where he had been brought up and spent his time by the River Thames doing much as the animal characters in his book do-namely, as one of the phrases from the book says, "simply messing about in boats"-and wrote down the bed-time stories he had been telling his son Alistair.
While going through the possessions of a deceased guest who owed them money, the mistress of the inn and her son find a treasure map that leads them to a pirate's fortune.
