Tucket's Home

Gary Paulsens tuckets home is a historical fiction and excitment filled book mixed together to make a really good book.

Tucket's home is the last book of the Tucket adventure's and usually in these type of books you have to read the whole series to know what is going on in the book but not this series. This series they tell you what is going on even though that you are reading the last book. In this book Francis tucket is on a quest to find his family that he lost in the first book by getting caught on the way to the west. He has two other people to help him on his journey they are Lottie and Billy which are the same age as he is which is pretty young for living out in the wilderness. In the book they find a gang of really disgusting people that chop up the bodies of people that they kill and take there guns and stuff. They run for there life and ride there horses until they can't run any more and stop for a day and rest they find there old friend Jason Grimes and says that he is dying and that he will wait and kill the gang of disgusting people. He finds a spot that he will fight and while francis, lottie, and billy are watching this in the forest near by. The gang comes and Jason grimes kills them all but they look down and see a.....

I really liked the book it was a little slow at the beginning but it got really exciting near the end of the book. If you like a little bit of cowboy and the west, mystery, and historical fiction then you will love this book.

  1. This book sounds like it has a twist of just about everything you could imagine in it. I like books that will keep you on your toes. This book sounds like it would have a lot of action in it which can excite the reader and encourage them to keep reading. This book sounds appealing to me because i like books that are very similar to this one which are those with action and a little boring when you start but exciting when you finish. This review interests me now i want to read these books.

  2. Sounds like a cool book. I too like exciting and intense books. The cliff hanger at the end of your second paragraph really makes me want to read it so I can find out! Thanks for the review!
