Following Huck

Would anyone today dare go on a trip down the Mississippi River as Huckleberry Finn did? Following Huck, by S. R. Zalesny, takes the reader back to a long-ago summer when six young friends braved the Mississippi aboard their homemade wooden raft. Their inspiration came from the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the challenge of their English Professor to build a raft to go on this amazing journey like Huck. Since the river trip was a figment of Mark Twain's imagination it would be wonderful if they really could do it!

This adrenaline-charged story immerses the reader in the preparations to build the raft, plot the dangerous twists and turns of the mighty Mississippi, and haul everything on Route 66 to Hannibal Missouri to begin the quest of a lifetime!

This book is truly a must-read for all who love adventure!
