The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is another great American classic children novel. originally published in 1884. It is the sequel to  The Adventures of Tom Sawyer . . Anyone who love Tom Sawyer would love this novel too. You will want to read none stop but will love every minute of it. One of the best-loved classics of children’s literature. Not just by children but also Adults.

Huckleberry Finn had a tough life with his drunk father until an adventure with Tom Sawyer changed everything. But when Huck’s dad returns and kidnaps him, he must escape down the Mississippi river with runaway slave, Jim. They encounter trouble at every turn, from floods and gunfights to armed bandits and the long arm of the law. Through it all the friends stick together – but can Huck and Tom free Jim from slavery once and for all?

This book has been banned by some libraries. mainly because book liberally uses the “N” word and heaps other abuse on African Americans. But I don’t think it has any kind of racism in it. Manly the story just reveal how society worked in those old days. Its all about the friendship between black slave and white boy who has no better society states than the black guy. But I think this might be differ depending on your nationality and ethnics. I just enjoy the story which those 2 face various problems they encounter while they run away.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is filled with humor, adventure, and suspense. Even Ernest Hemingway called it the greatest American novel ever. You can say Mark Twain‘s writing is extremely entertaining. Hard cover books of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer would be great gift for any kid who love reading books.
