Includes character guide, quiz, author info, historical background, and how to create a secret codeIt's lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them. Huck Finn spits, swears, smokes a pipe, and never goes to school.

With his too-big clothes and battered straw hat, Huck is in need of "civilizing," and the Widow Douglas is determined to take him in hand. And wouldn't you know, Huck's no-good Pap is also after him and he locks Huck up in his cabin in the woods. But Huck won't stand too much of this, and after a daring escape, he takes off down the Mississppi on a raft with an runaway slave called Jim.

But plenty of dangers wait for them along the river—will they survive and win their freedom.
