Retellings are so tough and this one is wonderful — well conceived, exciting, very sad.

I loved this book. A rewritten story of Huck Finn from the point of James the slave.
The book shows perciverience, friendship, and the bond of family.
I definitely recommend it but it does touch on difficult themes.
