Publisher Description: This adventure could cost Huck's life. Or worse, his freedom. Missouri River, 1870 - On a vast, untamable river separating civilized society from the wild frontier, steamboat pilot Huck Finn lives life on his own terms, avoiding any entanglements that might tie him down. Until he's named guardian of an eight-year-old orphan. At first, the chronic wanderer looks for a way out. But when a waspish-tongued spinster makes a questionable claim on the child, Huck's sympathetic heart takes control of his better judgment. A snap decision alters his course, leading them all on a wild trip upriver fraught with conflict, danger, betrayal, and-to Huck's surprise-temptation. Young Tad reawakens a yearning the freedom-loving pilot finds hard to resist. But to embrace his future, he must let go of the one thing he cherishes most. His freedom. Inspired by America's favorite storyteller, bestselling author E.E. Burke brings her vision to a historical fiction series with a colorful cast of characters, both familiar and new. Also in the New Adventures: Tom Sawyer Returns. |
