 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\, both harrowing and ferociously funny\
 , told from the enslaved Jim's point of view. When the enslaved Jim overhe

 is wife and daughter forever\, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island
  until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile\, Huck Finn has faked his own de

 and storms\, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasur

  scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin...)\, Jim's agency\, intellig

 electrifying humor and lacerating observations that have made Everett a 'c
