In this first of five volumes of autobiography, poet Maya Angelou recounts a youth filled with disappointment, frustration, tragedy, and finally hard-won independence. Sent at a young age to live with her grandmother in Arkansas, Angelou learned a great deal from this exceptional woman and the tightly knit black community there. These very lessons carried her throughout the hardships she endured later in life, including a tragic occurrence while visiting her mother in St. Louis and her formative years spent in California--where an unwanted pregnancy changed her life forever. Marvelously told, with Angelou's "gift for language and observation," this "remarkable autobiography by an equally remarkable black woman from Arkansas captures, indelibly, a world of which most Americans are shamefully ignorant."This simplified book includes an introduction and extensive activity material, like all Penguin Readers.

Este cuento nos narra la vida de Tom Sawyer, un joven que vive a las orillas de un río, en el pueblecito de Hannibal, así como de otros personajes tales como su amigo el pilluelo Huck Finn, de la bonita Becky Thartcher, del malvado indio Joe y de un sinnúmero de otros más. Durante este verano muy agitado, los muchachos se ven envueltos en un asesinato perpetrado en un cementerio a la luz de la luna, en un proceso criminal y en una huida desesperada. Encuentran un tesoro escondido, se extravían y se les da por perdidos y muertos en un laberinto de cavernas muy profundas. A lo largo de todas estas aventuras, Tom Swayer sigue siendo siempre el mismo: bien intencionado, perseguido por la mala suerte y amigo de meterse en líos.
