I just received word I will be teaching 9th and 10th grade English this coming year and I'm looking for a replacement for Huck Finn in our 10th grade curriculum. I taught the book once before during a subbing position (at my current school) and the kids HATED it. They didn't understand the irony, they hated the "n" word (I work in an inner city district) and basically just took nothing from it. After reading they couldn't even summarize the plot- the language threw them off. I am not the only teacher to complain- basically everyone in the English department wants to abandon this book. What else could I replace it with that would keep a similar theme of irony? Any suggestions? Thanks!
