Opis

Edward Tudor, the Prince of Wales, was born destined to be the king of all England. Tom Canty was born in squalor and destined for a life of misery in the slums of the London streets. However, a chance encounter between these two doppelgangers will send destiny into a tailspin as Edward and Tom suddenly and unexpectedly trade places. Now the young king-to-be must struggle through the streets facing Tom's abusive father, reckless criminals, insane hermits, and near execution all in the hope of reclaiming his place in the palace. Meanwhile, Tom Canty is swept into a life of luxury and power, and with the imminent death of King Henry VIII, soon his very word becomes law. Can Edward get back to the palace and claim his rightful place on the throne? Will Tom Canty be willing to surrender it even if he can? Once again, classic author Mark Twain has composed a masterwork of literary genius sure to leave the reader spellbound and aching for more adventure with each new chapter. This enhanced edition includes journal prompts, study and discussion questions, and vocabulary activities great for use in the classroom."
