Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often referred to as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn or shortened to Huckleberry Finn or simply Huck Finn) is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in February 1885. Commonly recognized as one of the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective).

The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Satirizing a Southern antebellum society that was already out of date by the time the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.

The work has been popular with readers since its publication and is taken as a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It has also been the continued object of study by serious literary critics. It was criticized upon release because of its coarse language and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur "nigger."

A. Hmm... There is the time he lived with the Grangerfords who were feuding with the Shepheardsons There is the time he is pretending to be a girl (Sarah Mary Williams), but gets caught when he catched the needle wrong (Legs together). There is the period where he gets mixed up with the Duke and the King - the con artists - and they are trying to get the Wilks girls' gold The part where he fakes his death with the pigs blood and the axe The part when Tom gets shot because he and Huck are "slave stealers" Hmmm... That's all I can think of for now. I havenn;t read Huck Finn in years! Good luck!
