'Cordially hated and dreaded by all the mothers of the town because he was idle, and lawless, vulgar, and bad - and because all their children admired him so', Huckleberry Finn, the fourteen-year-old son of the town drunkard, joins runaway slave Jim on an exciting journey down the mighty Mississippi River on a raft.
My husband and I read this book together and loved it! I think he was able to really identify with Huck who LOVES adventures. Definitely a classic and a must-read!
