BOOK: Tucket's ride [#3] by Paulsen

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Paulsen, Gary._Tucket's ride [#3]_,1997
 0-440-41147-5] Bantam Doubleday
This is the third book in "Mr. Tucket's" adventures in which he still
has the two kids tagging along with him.  It opens with them
looking at a shack and hearing screaming.  Mr. Tucket goes down
and ends up killing an Army soldier who is molesting a lady.  They
take the body to the nearest fort and explain what happened and
also find out that the war with Mexico has started.  Soon after they
leave the fort they are captured by a terrible band of Mexican
outlaws.  The reader will be surprised (but not too) by how they
escape.  As I said before, this series is starting to appear like a
"Star Trek Voyager" in the wild west.  While this 86 page book has
an ending, he is still on his long journey west.  I will not purchase
any more in the series unless some students begin getting into it
and request them.
