My children love all of the Great Illustrated Classics. And I'm hoping that if they're already familiar with the story lines, when their literature instructors start dissecting the books line by line, allusion by allusion, metaphor by metaphor, my kids will remember how much they enjoyed the books in their youth.

Lucy Adams, author of If Mama Don't Laugh, It Ain't Funny

I liked the book because it had adventure and exciting stuff in it. Like when Huck kills that pig and drags him through the forest and leaves a blood trail. He also it made look like someone broke in and killed him because he puts an axe in the door and busts it downto looke like it.

I think the best part of the book was when he dressed up like a girl to find out if people were still talking about his death. But everybody thinks the black man did it because he dissappeared the same night as Huck.

I think the two reasons are characters and setting. I think it's the settings because it gives really good details about it and it's old timey and that's what the story is all about. People didn't even wear shoes they were still walking around barefoot. I also think it's the characters because he explains them really well and I think he picked real good characters to play the parts.

Huckle Berrey is a boy who has a drunk evil father whos trying to steal his treasure so huck takes a raft and goes down the mississippi river and befriends a runaway slave and they start an adventure

This book is amazing. An all Time American Classic. The follow up to "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" follows his best friend Huckleberry and a black slave named Jim as they journey to free Jim. I give this 2 thumbs WAAAAAAAy UP. A must read
