These unjustly neglected works, among the most enjoyable of Mark Twain's novels, follow Tom, Huck, and Jim as they travel across the Atlantic in a balloon, then down the Mississippi to help solve a mysterious crime. Both with the original illustrations by Dan Beard and A.B. Frost. "Do you reckon Tom Sawyer was satisfied after all them adventures? No, he wasn’t. It only just pisoned him for more." So Huck declares at the start of these once-celebrated but now little-known sequels to his own adventures. Tom, Huck, and Jim set sail to Africa in a futuristic air balloon, where they survive encounters with lions, robbers, and fleas and see some of the world’s greatest wonders.

The adventures of Tom Sawyer go on! This time together with his friends he decided to go abroad to get rich and become independent. The friends also dream about this. A cheerful group of friends set off on a long journey in a hot air balloon. The long way above America, the Atlantic Ocean, the Sahara desert and Egypt is ahead of them. They will also have a nice bit of difficult times and amazing adventures. Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn are not only free swinging boys and adventurers. Tom showed an amazing observation together with other unusual skills and became a real detective that helped not only find the thief of diamonds out, solve the artful murder but also save an innocent person from prison. The book is written as a parody on detective style, the narration is told in the first person of Huckleberry Finn.
