I really enjoyed this one. "Huckleberry Finn" told from the point of view of Jim, the enslaved man. Jim has taught himself reading, writing, and elocution, and holds classes to teach the youngsters how to talk properly around the white folks. In private with each other they use proper grammar and diction.
Jim hears he is going to be sold, so he runs away and hides out on a nearby island. Huck ends up there, too, after faking his own death. They head out on the river for an adventure.
I haven't read Huck Finn in a long time, but I think this book stuck pretty close to that story.
