Francis finds himself in trouble after lagging behind the wagon train, but then a mountain man shows up, and the fourteen year old boy finds himself growing up fast.

I really enjoyed this story. It was believable, realistic, authentic, but not too graphic. ( )

Old Children's Book. Liked it as a kid, but haven't read it in years. ( )

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. This book also taught me many things about the Old West that I did not know about. I would defiantly read this book to my students because I think it is very imporrtant to teach them about the Oregon Trail and the Old West and this book does it. ( )

This book is good because it makes you want to read more and while you are reading the book you can always imagine what it would be like to do what he did and go through all of that pain well that is what i did so if you want an intereting book then this is your book ( )
