Everyone knows the story of the raft on the Mississippi and that ol' whitewashed fence, but now it’s time for youngins everywhere to get right acquainted with the man behind the pen. Mr. Mark Twain! An interesting character, he was...even if he did sometimes get all gussied up in linen suits and even if he did make it rich and live in a house with so many tiers and gazebos that it looked like a weddin’ cake. All that’s a little too proper and hog tied for our narrator, Huckleberry Finn, but no one is more right for the job of telling this picture book biography than Huck himself. (We’re so glad he would oblige.) And, he’ll tell you one thing—that Mr. Twain was a piece a work! Famous for his sense of humor and saying exactly what’s on his mind, a real satirist he was—perhaps America’s greatest. Ever. True to Huck’s voice, this picture book biography is a river boat ride into the life of a real American treasure.

A beautifully written, darkly funny coming-of-age story from an award-winning, bestselling German author making his American debut. Mike Klingenberg doesn't get why people think he's boring. Sure, he doesn't have many friends. (Okay, zero friends.) And everyone laughs at him when he reads his essays out loud in class. And he's never invited to parties - including the gorgeous Tatiana's party of the year.Andre Tschichatschow, aka Tschick (not even the teachers can pronounce his name), is new in school, and a whole different kind of unpopular. He always looks like he's just been in a fight, his clothes are tragic, and he never talks to anyone.But one day Tschick shows up at Mike's house out of the blue. Turns out he wasn't invited to Tatiana's party either, and he's ready to do something about it. Forget the popular kids: Together, Mike and Tschick are heading out on a road trip. No parents, no map, no destination. Will they get hopelessly lost in the middle of nowhere? Probably. Will meet some crazy people and get into serious trouble? Definitely. But will they ever be called boring again? Not a chance.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often shortened to Huck Finn) is a novel written by American humorist Mark Twain. It is commonly used and accounted as one of the first Great American Novels. It is also one of the first major American novels written using Local Color Regionalism, or vernacular, told in the first person by the eponymous Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer and hero of three other Mark Twain books.The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. By satirizing Southern antebellum society that was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.

In the American South during the pre-Civil War era, a young boy named Huck Finn embarks on an extraordinary journey down the Mississippi River. Fleeing his abusive father and seeking freedom from societal constraints, Huck joins forces with Jim, a runaway slave seeking refuge from slavery. Together, they navigate the challenges of the river, encountering a spectrum of characters — from con artists and feuding families to kind-hearted strangers and dubious aristocrats. Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an iconic classic and shaped the way children’s literature was written in America. The timeless classic continues to provoke thought and debate, cementing its place as a cornerstone of American literature and a powerful indictment against the injustices of its era. MARK TWAIN [1835-1910] was an American author raised in Missouri, which also serves as the setting for several of his novels. He is most renowned for the timeless depictions of childhood in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer [1876] and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn [1884]. Twain's literary legacy is deeply intertwined with the American identity, with William Faulkner considering him the father of American literature, and Ernest Hemingway stating, »All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.«
