Description In this brand new reimagining, Mary Jane--the red-headed spark from Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, who stole Huck's heart in just 30 pages--comes to life with her own story of adventuring down the Mississippi River in the 1840s. Meet Mary Jane Guild -- she's on a dangerous and unpredictable adventure down the Mississippi River -- and she'll steal Huck Finn's heart along the way. In these chapters you'll come to know the real Mary Jane: a girl on her own dangerous and unpredictable journey down the Mississippi River in pre-Civil War America. Equipped with an uncanny ability for mathematics, a talent for sewing, and a bale of beaver skins, Mary Jane navigates deadly illnesses, angry mobs, treacherous landowners, outright thieves and swindlers, and more than a thousand miles of muddy water. What's more, she thrives in the face of these challenges, thanks to support from a caring boat captain, generous neighbors, a cheery peddler, a chosen family, a loyal and loving dog, and two hardworking horses.
