BOOK: Mr Tucket by Paulsen

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Paulsen, Gary._Mr. Tucket_,1994 [0-375-80680-6]
Fourteen-year-old Francis Tucket is on a wagon train going to
Oregon when he is captured by Indians.  He is then rescued by a
colorful trapper.  This is the start of Francis' (now called Mr.
Tucket) growing up and adventure on the frontier.  There are many
humorous situations in the story along with the violence of fighting
Indians.  If you are looking for an exciting frontier story, this 166
page book is it.  It has a follow-up called "Call me Francis Tucket."
By the way, I picked this up in a local book store off the summer
reading shelf.  It was selected by another school.  This is a great
way to pick up good reads with which you are not familiar.
