Book Synopsis Huckleberry Finn Grows Up by : Sam Sackett
Download or read book Huckleberry Finn Grows Up written by Sam Sackett. This book was released on 2012-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his last adventures officially behind him, Huck Finn has just made up his mind to escape Aunt Sally's wishes for him to get "sivilized." Without a second thought, Huck strikes out for the Injun Territory on foot, leaving Tom Sawyer and Jim behind. But before long, the mischievous Huck Finn soon realizes that getting to Injun Territory is not going to be as easy as he thought. It is not long before Huck secures an opportunity as a drover for a party of settlers heading for Oregon. As soon as he feels confident he is headed in the right direction, the settlers inform him he is closer to Injun Territory than he thinks. After he departs from the family, he meets a traveling doctor who convinces him to be a swami; and an Injun named Mankiller who introduces him to the ways of the Cherokee tribe and teaches him about responsibility. As he slowly immerses himself into a new life, Huck sees another side of racism, falls in love, and learns what it is like to become a man. In this adventurous tale, Huckleberry Finn embarks on a journey of self-discovery where he eventually uncovers the truths about "sivilization," slavery, and the differences between right and wrong.

Book Synopsis Now You See Me by : Lesley Glaister
Download or read book Now You See Me written by Lesley Glaister. This book was released on 2014-12-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An orphan and a fugitive find a connection in their secret pasts in this “love story that moves with the pace of a thriller” from an award-winning author (Yorkshire Post). At sixteen, Lamb walks out on her life. Her parents are dead and she has no brothers or sisters. For money, she cleans people’s homes. For shelter, she lives in the cellar of an elderly client. For survival, she imagines herself as a tightrope walker—one foot in front of the other, eyes straight ahead, and never allowing anyone to touch her, lest she lose her balance. Then she meets Doggo. And Lamb can feel herself falling. Doggo walked out on his life, too—or more precisely, he ran. A fugitive fleeing from a violent criminal past, he needs Lamb’s help staying under the radar. Quick-tempered, foul-mouthed, yet surprisingly tender, Doggo needs Lamb in other ways, too. But the closer they get, the more Lamb risks her precarious balance between life and death. And fear has never felt so comforting. Now You See Me, from Somerset Maugham Award winner Lesley Glaister, is an empowering novel about loneliness, trust, the fictions we tell ourselves to survive, and the primal need to connect. It also “boasts a protagonist so heartbreakingly well-realized that you are forced to live through her eyes, in her head, her heart . . . if only all fiction made us worry and care so hard, posed us such dreadfully difficult questions” (The Guardian). “Glaister is at her best . . . written in the crisply poetic prose for which she’s known, [she] transforms the bleakest situations into compelling fiction.” —The Independent “Before Gillian Flynn, there was Lesley Glaister.” —Harper’s Bazaar
