Huck runs away from home. He meets Jim, a black man who has escaped from slavery . They travel together on a raft made of wood down the Mississippi River. 

Mark twain started writing "Huckleberry Finn" as a children's story. But it soon became serious. The story tells about the social evil of slavery, seen through the eyes of an innocent child.
