Twain's classic

Once again Devin and his pal-for-life-even-if-she-is-a-girl Francine "Frankie" Lang find them ill-prepared for a literature test. They decide to once again use the library's mysterious zapper gates to get them into the story---which just happens to be The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Once again the two find themselves swept up into Twain's classic. Both soon find out that Tom is pretty much like them, a troublemaker. Soon they hook up with Tom's longtime pal Huck Finn and soon the four are swept up into their own adventures, such as whitewashing fences, pretending to be pirates, attending their own funerals, and most important, they witness a murder while visiting the graveyard at midnight. Can they bring the true person to justice? This was another great Cracked Classics. They are nice for young children and might encourage them later in life to read the actrull classic!
