Summary: This reimagining of "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is told from Jim’s perspective, highlighting his intelligence, agency, and compassion. Fearing separation from his family, Jim runs away, while Huck fakes his own death to escape his father, leading them on a perilous journey down the Mississippi River. While key events from the original story remain, this version offers a fresh perspective on Jim’s character and struggles.
