Huck Finn, by Mark Twain, was a good novel about the adventures of a young boy trying to get away from civilization. Huck starts off very immature and has speach impediments to show his imaturity. Huck also tries to help a runnaway slave named Jim. Jim used to belong to Hucks aunt.
Huck travels along the Mississippi River with Jim. They travel the river to get Jim to freedom, and so Huck can get away from civilization. They encounter two men who go by the names of the "Duke" and the "other guy". The Duke and the other guy are bad men who just go around scamming as many people as they can.
