Tom enjoys his status as "Tom Sawyer the Traveler," and hopes to further his reputation. Little did he know how far his desire to stay ahead of his biggest rival would take them this time -- overseas in an eccentric inventor's balloon!

Work Description
Do you reckon Tom Sawyer was satisfied after all them adventures? I mean the adventures we had down the river, and the time we set the darky Jim free and Tom got shot in the leg. No, he wasn't. It only just p'isoned him for more. That was all the effect it had. You see, when we three came back up the river in glory, as you may say, from that long travel, and the village received us with a torchlight procession and speeches, and everybody hurrah'd and shouted, it made us heroes, and that was what Tom Sawyer had always been hankering to be.
