The prince and the pauper / [electronic resource]. by Twain, Mark.;

They are the same age. They look alike. In fact, there is but one difference between them: Tom Canty is a child of the London slums; Edward Tudor is heir to the throne of England. Just how insubstantial this difference really is becomes clear when a chance encounter leads to an exchange of roles…with the pauper caught up in the pomp and folly of the royal court, and the prince wandering, horror-stricken, through the lower depths of sixteenth-century English society.520Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1233 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 363 KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1232 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 358 KB).

The adventures of Tom Sawyer : [electronic resource] : Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn series, book 1. by Twain, Mark.;

The orphan Tom Sawyer, raised by his aunt, is never out of trouble for long. A mischievous, charming boy (not to mention genius at escaping from trouble), Tom's adventures involve many unwitting bystanders. From one moment to the next, the boy could change into a pirate, or ship's captain - when he's not trying to win Becky Thatcher for a sweetheart, of course. Tom is also a friend of Twain's other beloved boy-hero, Huckleberry Finn.Grade 7 - Grade 12Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1274 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 389 KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1273 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 384 KB).

The adventures of Huckleberry Finn : [electronic resource] : Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn series, book 2. by Twain, Mark.;

Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer's best friend, escapes down the Mississippi on a raft with the runaway slave, Jim. One of the iconic American novels, it caused a stir when published because of the vernacular used by Twain to characterize Jim and the people of the Mississippi. Twain's criticism of racial segregation and the treatment of slaves was thrown into turbulent criticisms at the turn of the century however, when he himself was accused of racist stereotyping and frequent use of the word "nigger".Grade 5Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1607 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 435 KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1605 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 428 KB).

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court / [electronic resource]. by Twain, Mark.; Dufris, William.;

Narrator: William Dufris.A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is both a whimsical fantasy and a social satire chock-full of brilliant Twainisms. Hank Morgan, a nineteenth-century American-a Connecticut Yankee-by a stroke of fate is sent back into time to sixth-century England and ends up in Camelot and King Arthur's Court. Although of average intelligence, he finds himself with knowledge beyond any of those in the sixth century, and he uses it to become the king's right hand man and to challenge Merlin as the court magician. Astounded at the way of life in Camelot, Hank does the only thing he can think of to do: change them. In his attempt to civilize medieval Camelot, he experiences many challenges and misadventures.Text Difficulty 6 - Text Difficulty 81020Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 335930 KB).

Books such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn have firmly established Mark Twain's reputation as one of the best-loved American humorists, but the author's non-fiction works are packed with as much laughter and keen insight as his popular novels. In the series of essays presented in the volume Roughing It, Twain recounts his years as a soldier, sailor, and speculator in the Wild West.Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 2240 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 631 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 2238 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 620 KB).
