Huck Finn grew up along the Mississippi in the days of slavery. Huck was a homeless rebel--a boy who loved freedom more than respectability. Huck isn’t above lying and stealing but when he meets up with Jim, a runaway slave, he has a battle with his conscience. Jim tells Huck that his owner wants to sell him to a slave trader down river for $800.
