Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
This classic tale of friendship, social status, and growing up to realize the world isn't the way you want it to be has been a favorite for generations.
Take a ride on the Mississippi with Jim and Huck.
(Note: It's highly recommended you pair this book with James by Percival Everett, which is offered as a separate Book Club selection.)
Content Note: This book contains racial slurs and descriptions of enslaved people from a 19th century perspective. Families are encouraged to pre-screen if they have concerns.
