Weed Memorial & Hollander Branch Book Discussion via Zoom: James by Percival Everett

James by Percival Everett

When the enslaved Jim overhears that he will be sold and separated from his family, he decides to hide until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father. Thus begins their journey down the Mississippi River toward the promise of the Free States.

In this brilliant, action-packed re-imagining of Huckleberry Finn, Jim’s intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new way.
