The Prince and the Pauper (1881) by Mark Twain

This book is an adaptation of the classic Mark Twain novel The Prince and the Pauper. One boy, penniless and in rags, forced to beg in the street. The other, a king s son, coddled and given all he could want. What happens when the two boys change clothes and places, and each one learns how the other half lives? Mark Twain s satirical and suspenseful novel about the thin line that separates prince and pauper is a perennial favorite. This easy to read adaptation is guaranteed to hook beginning readers not yet ready to tackle the original.
