21st Century Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Mystery at Rolling Dunes is an action and adventure story written by Carson Cunningham. The story takes place about 170 years after Huck left town for Apache Country. He had gone on to Los Angeles and found it was much too hot for him. Up in San Francisco, he attended a lecture by Sir Franklin, the polar adventurer, and Huck decided all that ice and snow sounded quite appealing. He approached Sir Franklin as an investor, and struck a deal with him. Huck would invest some of his gold from his share of the treasure and would become part of Franklin's crew. After the crash, Huck sees a fellow crewman eyeing him hungrily and sets out on his own. He falls into a crevasse and is frozen until he's found by some scientists and revived. They plan to study him and do all sorts of tests on him, but Huck isn't much interested. He escapes and ends up in Rolling Dunes, Indiana, where he sets up a small camp by the beach. Soon he befriends the Three Musketeers, some local kids his age, and Huck learns how to play football.

Carson Cunningham's action story, 21st Century Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Mystery at Rolling Dunes, is simply marvelous. Huck is so much more self-sufficient than Ned, Tank and the others, but he's also got a lot to learn from them. I had so much fun reading of their adventures, the nights in the tree house and the football games. Cunningham's book is also one of those unforgettable coming of age books set during what seems to be an endless summer. You can almost taste the fresh catfish Huck cooks up for his morning meal, and feel the excitement of the boys as they TP the neighborhood houses and try to catch the mysterious nocturnal litterbug. 21st Century Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Mystery at Rolling Dunes is entertaining, well-plotted, and it reads like a dream. It's most highly recommended.
