Description
In this bold reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the harrowing yet humor-filled narrative is told from the perspective of the enslaved Jim. After overhearing plans for his sale, Jim hides on Jackson Island, hoping to devise an escape. Simultaneously, Huck Finn, having faked his death to escape his violent father, embarks on a journey down the Mississippi River. Familiar scenes of storms, unexpected treasures, and swindlers remain, but Jim’s intelligence and agency shine through in a refreshingly new light, revealing the deeper truths of freedom and friendship.
