Tom Sawyer Abroad is one of Mark Twain's lesser known books about Tom and Huck. In the pursuit of new adventures to make a name for himself, Tom Sawyer gets himself, Huckleberry Finn, and Jim kidnapped by a maddened inventor determined to fly a new kind of experimental airship around the world. The Professor, as he is called, is determined to prove the value of his invention to the unbelieving world, and then sink it and all aboard into the ocean so the world can never learn its secrets.After being kidnapped, Tom, Huck, Jim, and the mad Professor went up high enough to see that the Earth was round. It was just as the Widow Douglas had told Huck, even though he hadn't ever believed in her superstitions before, because every time he had looked, the Earth had looked flat to him. They got in an argument about whether or not they had left Illinois. Huck insisted that they couldn't have because the land was still green and not pink like the map said Indiana was. This led to talk about time zones. Jim got worried about the idea of there being different times in different places, because if it can be one day in one part of the world and a different day in another, and if it was Tuesday and the day when the dead were called back to life in America, but it wasn't Tuesday yet in England, they would miss it and wouldn't be called back to life.
