Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 2: Huckleberry Finn

A simplified graded reader of Mark Twain's great American novel. The story begins with young Huckleberry Finn rejecting a "civilized" life of clean clothes, school, and manners with the Widow Douglas. When his abusive, drunken father returns, Huck runs away. He finds freedom and adventure floating down the great Mississippi River on a raft with Jim, a runaway black slave. As the two travel south, Huck must make difficult choices about friendship, freedom, and the morally complicated laws of the time that put a $300 reward on Jim's capture.
