“The elastic heart of youth cannot be compressed into one constrained shape long at a time.”
From tricking his friends into painting a fence (for fun!) to crashing his own funeral, Tom is never up to any good, much to Aunt Polly’s regret. He skips school to chase adventures and doesn’t like rules at all.

Suddenly, growing up isn’t just about pranks anymore.
