Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I think we'll tackle Tom Sawyer and save Huck for later.

At 11 and 12, I would go with Tom Sawyer for sure.

I thought that chronologically TS came first, HF came later.

At any rate, TS is much more "readable". Both are excellent.

How old are the kids? Tom Sawyer is a book for children. Huckleberry Finn is a book for adults.

I loved Tom Sawyer. Huck Finn was too serious

How old are the kids? Tom Sawyer is more fun, and Huckleberry Finn grapples more deeply with real issues.
