Huckleberry tells us his story in first person. He begins explaining that he´s the best friend of Tom Sawyer and they had lived many exciting adventures together.
In this book, Huck tells his own adventures.His father is always drunk and he was sent to live with widow Douglas, where he could wear clean clothes and go to school, altough he didn´t like it.
There, he met Jim, miss Douglas´ slave, and they became very good friends. But, Huck didn´t stay in this house very much, because his father took him. He wanted the money that they´ve found ( Tom and he) from a robbers gang some time ago. Huck did not remain too long with his father because he decided to escape down the river.
In his escape, he met Jim that had run from mis Douglas´house, because he was going to be sold. They lived many adventures together, until someone discovered Jim and turned him over the family ( they had offered a reward). It was then , when Huck met Tom by chance, and they both planned to help JIm, the slave, to escape and to be free-
Unfortunately, Tom was shot in his leg, but he was very happy, because this was a very important event to tell to everyone.
Finally, Jim was free, not only for Tom and Huck´s help, but Miss Douglas had died and she had written that she wanted him to be free.
A happy ending for Jim ans as well as for Huck who could get his money because his father had died. In spite of the money, he decided to be free and lived as he liked: no beds to sleep, no new clothes to wear or good manners to learn.
