I figure if the kid is ready to deal with dystopian SF like "The Hunger Games" they're probably ready to deal with Huckleberry Finn on its own terms. LHOP* at Middle School age as well.
But I only ever liked the first of the series so I'm not in a position to say much about it. Except to note that my great-great(?) grandma Ada Pocahontas hated the First Nation people, as well as her middle name, so it's not out of line for Laura's mother to be racist, or for Laura not to notice it as a bad thing. It's the teachers and readers who need to be discussing it.
*LHOP. Is that anything like Little House of Pancakes?
