Librio Library #50 – Huck and Nell – Tom Reed
2 Minute ReadWhy we chose “Huck and Nell”
Are you a cat or a dog person?
The Librio team is divided on this issue. Whilst some of us can’t get enough of cats, others are obsessed with dogs. When it comes to the book, “Huck and Nell” though, we all agree that it’s great – regardless of whether we’re a cat or a dog person.
Boooooooooring: For Huck and Finn, time just doesn’t seem to want to pass and absolutely nothing exciting seems to be happening. To escape their paralyzing monotony, the two dogs embark (pun intended) on an exciting journey of discovery. From the roaring sea, all the way into the weightlessness of outer-space their adventure takes them all over. We don’t want to reveal too much, but suffice it to say, their boredom is definitely over!
