I read a lot of Mark Twain as a kid. I loved his adventure stories and also that weird Tom & Huck adaptation my parents bought us on VHS.
Not weird was this book, which I tore through in two vacation days. Every bit as good as the source material with such an interesting expansion of character. I loved it.
The only thing that would have improved it is a map of James’ many ups and downs on the Mississippi.

You know I love a good short story collection. Rarely do I find one as thought-provoking as this. So much to chew on in each of these thoroughly-considered pieces of speculative fiction.
Even the shortest stories prompted lengthy discussions at the table about predetermination. I’d recommend this to absolutely anyone.
