Author: Charles Dickens
Summary: Sequel of Dickens’ Tom Sawyer, focusing on his friend Huckleberry Finn. After leading a prosperous life in a loving old widow’s home, Huck yearns for his stray cat’s way of living. He hates linen, school, church, and his ‘home’. Often he sleeps outside at night, unbeknownst to the old widow. When his father comes and forcefully wants him (and his treasures) back, he sets up a plan to fake his death, backfiring his cunning father’s own agenda, so he could run for his freedom…which lead to more danger than he ever imagine.
My Comments: Though I do enjoy the story, there’s some part, mostly of Huck’s meaning of freedom, that can be easily misinterpreted by young readers. I advice this story to preteens and teens who enjoys adventure tales, and have grown more sense of life.
