This is really an adventure book with devastating historical context, I don't remember enough about Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn to say how much it departs from that canon or whatever, but I feel like kids should have to read this as a companion to Tom Sawyer if not just this one by itself. I feel like this is an important book and although the stakes are life and death the scenebuilding is so beautiful, the Mississippi river and the steamboats and the forests, wow.

Ive deducted half a star from it just because 1) I didn’t feel that Jim evolved much throughout the story. I suppose that could be argued based on who he was when it started, but overall he just seemed to be the same guy from start to finish without much of his beliefs or feelings changing despite everything he goes through. And 2) the twist where
Definitely recommend others to read Huck Finn first before reading James! I think knowing the original story helps you appreciate this one more.
