Summary: Mr. Tucket, A book you want to read!
Review: This book, Mr. Tucket, is written by my favorite author, Gary Paulsen. Gary Paulsen is a distinguished author of manybooks for young people. These include : The Winter Room, Hatchet, Dogsong, and many more which I have read most of them. This book, I enjoyed as much as I enjoyed many of Gary Paulsen's books. Also this book, Mr. Tucket, is a historical Fiction book and so many people and Indians introduced really existed ruing the 1800's.
It was around 1847. Many people from different places were heading for West, to Oregon. People traveled in groups in wagons because of Indians, and Francis Alphones Tucket is one of the many people moving to Oregon. It was his 14th birthday and he had received his first rifle. He was so happy, he wanted to practice shooting with it. But soon he was captured by Pawnees Indians. His rifle was taken by the Pawnees and he was used almost as a slave. During the stay at Pawnees village, little kids jumped on him and wrestled him. Francis found it really irritating and wanted to leave. Then he saw a white mountain man trading some stuff with the Pawnees. He only had one arm and looked very strong. Later at night, the white man came to release Francis and let Francis run on a black mare by himself. The next day, after Francis was running hard, he saw the white man and introduced himself. Mountain man, known as Mr. Grimes didn't like Francis nor the Alphones, so he called Francins Mr. Tucket. That's how Mr. Grimes and Mr. Tucket finally met. Mr. Grimes helped Mr. Tucket to shoot and practice with the rifles. He taught Mr. Tucket to find meals by shooting rabbits, antelopes, and dears. Mr. Grimes showed Mr. Tucket the Sioux Indians. Mr. Grimes and the Standing Bear, the chief of the Sioux Village decided to have a competition of wrestling with Mr. Tucket and a one of Sioux Indian. Mr. Tucket was sure he was going to lose, but he didn't, and instead he won. He was rewarded a new black mare and was given buckskins. Then Mr. Grimes took Mr. Tucket to Spot Johnnie's house, Mr. Grimes' friend. After meeting Spot Johnnie, Mr. Grimes took Mr. Tucket to pond of beavers. It was located in Crows Indians' territory, so Mr. Grimes tried to be very careful. After few days after building a cabin near the pond of beavers, another mountain man, Mr. Grimes' friend, Jim Bridger came to the cabin and had a talk with Mr. Tucket. After killing 200 beavers, Mr. Tucket and Mr. Grimes skinned and stretched out the beavers. When Mr. Tucket thought it was really bored, he rode his mare around the pond where he could see his own cabin. But saw 5 Crows Indians. He almost died, when Mr. Grimes shot 2 of the Indians and saved Mr. Tucket. They hurried and left the place and went to Spot Johnnie's house. Then suddenly, Mr. Grimes said in a very concerned voice that there was a bit too much smoke at the house and ran hard to the village. The buildings all burned down and many dead bodies were around. Mr. Grimes searched for a second and finally said that it was Pawnees Indians. They wanted powders from Spot Johnnie's, but they didn't have any, so the Pawnees just killed them. Mr. Grimes hurried and found some people riding wagon on road to Oregon. He told them to take care of Mr. Tucket and left for another fight with Braid, a war chief of Pawnees Indians.

Summary: Absolutly Awsome Book!
Review: This is a GREAT book Mr. Paulsen! My teacher, Mr. Ita read it to the class. We just started "Tucket's Gold" today. The "Tucket" series is AWSOME! Consider writing a fifth "Tucket" book soon if you haven't already! I LLLOOOVVVEEE how the books always end leaving you hanging by a thread. We (my class & I) were in EXTREME suspence waiting for No. 4 to come out. I mean, having the last line be "Come on. We've got lots of ground to cover." is like the best way to keep you going with the books. It isn't very fun waiting for a while when you really want to know what happens. I hope the whatsimadosits don't catch Francis, Loddy, and Billy! I guess I'll have to wait!

This book started out with a boy named Francis Tucket. He lived in a wagon train that was headed to Oregon. One day for his birthday he got a rifle. One day he fell behind the wagon and was shooting his rifle when he was picked out by indians. They took him back to there camp and he became part of there tribe. Then a mountain man by the name of Mr.Grimes told him how to escape and were to meet him in a couple of days. So francis escaped and meet Mr. Grimes and they went of into the countryside. The first stop they made was at a pawnee villiage Mr.Grimes was freinds with the pawnees so they let him pass through. Then they arived at Spot Jonnies place. They stayed there for 3 weeks and then left in search of a good hunting place for beaver. They found a place and built a house there. The next fall they put out the beaver traps and when they were done they had 200 beaver pelts. One day when Mr.Tucket was ridding his horse he was attacked by indians. So Mr.Tucket and Mr.Grimes ran away from the indians. They meet a wagon trail that had been atacked by indians so Mr.Grimes went to kill bride the indian. Francis followed him and Mr.Grimes killed the indian. The Francis decided he wanted to go back to oregon with the wagons so he left Mr.Grimes and went back to his family. The characters in this story were very good. They were very well planed and fit the story well. You could really picture the senery in your mind of were they are at and the setting around them. This is a great book and i enjoyed it.
