THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN
MARK TWAIN
'You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft' 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 'civilising', 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? Includes exclusive material: In 'The Backstory' you can discover how to write secret messages in code, and learn about the extraordinary Mark Twain.
