This novel my ninth grader will be reading this year.
When Hank Morgan, from the nineteenth-century, wakes up in the sixth-century, he sets out to civilize England and convince its people to embrace democracy/the republic. I enjoyed Twain's wit and his superb writing. At times I became weary of how Hank Morgan could incorporate any modern idea into the sixth-century! It wasn't quite realistic, but I don't think Twain was concerned about scientific solidity or a credible plot!!
I like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain better.
