Summary: Mr. Tucket A Review
Review: Gary Paulsen's MR TUCKET is a wonderful adventure. It is very action packed with realistic events like the Indian raids. The main character make you believe that it really happened. Gary Paulsen's best yet.
The story begins on a wagon train in the year 1847. A fourteen year old boy is walking with his family. When they stop his father gives him a .22 caliber rifle for his birthday. Francis Tucket is his name but he doesn't like to be called Francis. His father tells him that he can stay behind and practice shooting for a while. Thats when the problem starts!! Find out what happens read this amazing book.
Francis enjoys his life but doesn't like his name. He is strong and a positive thinker. He gets kind of nervous and jumpy when he's under pressure but he pulls through. His family is on their way to Oregon. He has a very short attention span, typical for any fourteen year old boy.
ENJOY THE BOOK!!!

Summary: Mr. Tucket, A book you want to read!
Review: Gary Paulsen's Mr. Tucket is an exciting story of capture and escape, friendship, loyalty, and perseverance. If you love the romance of the Old West, you'll love this book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, and you can't stop turning the pages.

Francis Alphonse Tucket celebrated his fourteenth birthday while traveling with his parents and little sister in a wagon train bound for Oregon. His father had secretly brought along a Lancaster rifle as a surprise birthday present. Francis loved the rifle, but he strayed a little too far behind the wagon train practicing his aim. He didn't even get to eat his birthday cake! About the time he noticed the wagon train was out of sight, a band of Pawnee Indians showed up and captured him. They fled like the wind to their village, erasing the signs of their passage so rescuers wouldn't be able to track Francis. At the Pawnee village, Francis was treated poorly, then lost hope when a raiding party came back with a doll that looked just like the one his sister had. It was at this sad time that Francis saw a white man riding boldly into the village. He was Jason Grimes, a one-armed Mountain Man. He was leading two pack horses loaded with goods to trade to the Indians for their furs. Francis was quickly exiled out of sight by the Indians, but Mr. Grimes had seen him. After a long session of spirited trading with the Indians in which he got most of them drunk, Mr. Grimes found Francis and released him, and helped him escape. Francis rode off barely holding on to a galloping Indian pony, heading for a place where Mr. Grimes said he would meet Francis.

The rest of the story is just as exciting as the beginning. Francis runs in and out of trouble, while learning how to survive in the wilderness and how to stand up for himself. Jason Grimes plays a large role in the story, but Francis is the star.

This first book is one of five in the series about Francis Tucket, so there is a lot to look forward to, and plenty of questions to be answered. Did his family make it to Oregon? Will Francis ever see them again, or will he become a Mountain Man like Jason Grimes, living off the land and trading with the Indians? You'll have to read it to find out!
