*I wish I could go on a raft down the river like Huck does. He has so many adventures. Some of them are rather horrid.* Tina, 11

Huckleberry Finn would rather be free than ‘sivilized’.

Adventures with Tom Sawyer made Huck rich – but his Pap is a violent drunk and the broad Mississippi is the road to liberty. Huck’s raft can carry him and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, to safety.

When they lose their way one foggy night, though, they are headed downriver into dangerous territory. How can one small boy pilot his way through a land of mortal feuds, lynch mobs and tricksters?

When life and freedom are at risk, how can Huck figure out the difference between wrong and right?
