Mark Twains 1884 masterpiece The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been widely regarded as Americas greatest novel. ![]() From the perspective of Huck, a poor, uneducated orphan, Twain’s commentary on race relations, the Southern justice system, class division, and senseless violence has resonated for over 130 years. However, Jim-Huck’s companion and a runaway slave-is arguably the hero in the novel because of his leadership and sacrifice, despite the fact that Twain narrates his story through Huck’s voice. Twain’s prolific use of the n-word is especially controversial. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was first banned a month after its publication as “not suitable for trash” and it remains number fourteen on the most banned list. While the book seems like a novel of adventure, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is at heart a satire in which Twain examines “civilization” and freedom in the pre-Civil War South. Published in 1885, Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remains an American classic taught in thousands of classrooms across the country. ![]() ![]() ![]() 2001 American Library Association Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults, Losing Joe's Place (1990).1999 ALA Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults, The Toilet Paper Tigers (1993).1991 Manitoba Young Reader's Choice Award (chosen by Manitoba schoolchildren), The Zucchini Warriors (1988). ![]() Air Canada Award for promising authors in Canada, at age 17.Other optioned books include No Coins, Please, I Want to Go Home, the Island trilogy and The Twinkie Squad.
