Thirteen-year-old Huckleberry Finn has had enough of “civilization.” Tired of rules, manners, and suffocating expectations, Huck longs for the wild freedom of the Mississippi River. When he escapes his abusive father and encounters Jim—an enslaved man fleeing for his freedom—Huck embarks on a journey that will change his life forever. Together on a raft, they navigate the mighty Mississippi, facing dangerous waters and even more dangerous people. From cunning con men calling themselves the Duke and the King to feuding families locked in deadly rivalry, each encounter tests their survival and challenges Huck’s understanding of right and wrong. As their friendship deepens, Huck must confront the prejudices of his upbringing and make a choice that will define who he truly is.
