The two Tom-Huck sequels, Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer Detective, are livelier works than some critics would have us believe. Huck Finn is the narrator in both, and at times the narration has the colloquial vigor and dramati quality of the earlier masterpiece. In the first of these works, Tom and Huck take a journey in a balloon. Their destination is England but after a hilarious nightmare ride they land in Africa instead. In the second work, Tom and Huck return to the Arkansas village. The crime which engages the attention of theamateur sleuths involves both murder and theft, and Tom’s uncle himself confesses to the capital crime. The ending has a dramatic twist.
