Parental Guidance
The era of history that is the setting of Tom Sawyer was a time of slavery, so the issue of slavery is present but not a focus in this story. There is a murder that character, Tom and Huck witness. Be sure to talk with your student as they read this book to be sure they are comfortable and dealing well with potential tough topics.
