From the publisher:
A retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both harrowing and ferociously funny, told from the enslaved Jim’s point of view. When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond. While many narrative set pieces of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place, Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.

The Friends typically give $4,500-$6,000 annually for Sherwood Public Library programming. Recent programs made possible by the Friends include: Summer Reading, Book Buddies (the book group for Kindergarten-2nd graders), Paperback Pals (the book group for 3rd-5th graders), Fiction Friends (the book group for 6th-8th graders), Teen Book Club, Adult Book Discussion Group, and more.

Let’s Talk offers a setting for open, honest, and facilitated discussion on topics unique to people over the age of 60. These interactive conversations provide a forum for discussion as well as an opportunity to explore new possibilities, resources, and connection.
