Joe, I think *Tom Sawyer Abroad* is the shoe-in; Tom is at his most Hank-like there. "To the Person Sitting in Darkness" works well when framed with something like "How much is Hank Morgan like these people (particularly the missionaries) Twain is condemning a little over a decade later?" If you have students who want to discuss CY as "science fiction," try pairing it with "From the London Times of 1904." Technology drives the plot of both works, but in very different ways. Best.
