BOOK: Tucket's Gold by Paulsen

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Paulsen, Gary._Tucket's gold_[#4 in Tucket adventures].Delacorte,
1999 [0-385-32501-0]
Here we have Francis and his two befriended kids wandering the
prairie, running into the dreaded Comanchero warriors, finding an
ancient treasure of gold, discovering a hidden indian village in the
hills, and having a run in with Dubs and Courtweiler.  This series,
set in the frontier days, is becoming more like a traditional series.
The first few books were pretty good but with this 97 page book
one I get the feeling that Mr. Paulsen is milking it.  The whole thing
could have been merged, with some editing, into a pretty good,
larger book.  I will not purchase any more of these (unless several
students request them.)
