The review
Tom would rather trick a boy into whitewashing a fence than do the work. That's the public image, and it's funny until you are the one who needed the fence done. He and Huck see a murder in a graveyard. I won't linger on the murder. Mark Twain's town is small enough that everyone knows the boy. The cave is the other picture people mean when they say the title.
A child can read it with a parent. I wouldn't leave it on the pillow and walk off, not because the prank is too much, but because the graveyard is in the same book. 1876, a boy's town. We can laugh at the trick and still say the work was his.

The glance
Industry and Piety and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Heidi
64 instead of 41
Heidi is still a novel film, and it scores 64 instead of 41. What you gain is industry: A city house hires her as a companion, and that use makes her sick.
