8. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain

Huckleberry Finn is a young boy who comes from a town near the Mississippi River some time during the 19th century.

The book tells tales of the boy’s adventures travelling along the river with his companion, Jim, who is an escaped slave. Huck himself has just managed to run away from his father who is an abusive alcoholic. The story introduces us to a wide range of colorful characters that the pair meet on their journey. The book often aims to criticize the racism of the time. It has been banned by many libraries due to its coarse language including racially motivated terminology, despite others pointing out that the book is actually critical of racism.
