Give the title, author, publisher, copyright date, genre (how do you know the genre - from the back of the book, the title page, the text?), a description of the cover of the book, and the main character(s) you have met so far and on what page you first met them. I am reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. This was published by Hartford, Conn. The copyright date was 1876 and the genre is realistic fiction. I know this is the genre because it is about something that could have been done in real life but has fictional characters.
The cover of this book seems to be a nice day with a lake or pond and some books laying next to "Tom Sawyer" who is relaxing under a tree in the daytime, and the book says Tom Sawyer in big letters where as "The Adventures of" are a little smaller. It also says "with connections" on the front as well.
The main character so far is only Tom Sawyer who I met on the very first page of the book. There are other characters that come close like Huckleberry Finn who I met on page #42. "Say, Hucky, when you going to try the cat. Another main character is Tom's aunt who I also met on page #1.
