What? You say you haven't yet read HUCK FINN? Well, you better get cracking --- not only is it a staple in English classrooms across the country, it's also one of the most full reads out there, giving you tons of opportunity to laugh, learn about history, read old American dialects, and think about a novel (and a time period) critically. The story is a basic one: Huck, a young boy, and Jim, an older slave, have a wild adventure as they float down the Mississippi river. Along the way, they encounter heavy storms, a gang of thieves, a crazy feuding family, and more. Told in Huck's totally vivid, sometimes truth-stretching vocabulary, HUCK FINN draws you right in and keeps you there. This is one book you won't get away from --- so you might as well start reading. But unlike some other have-to-reads, you'll enjoy this one, guaranteed.
