Mr. Tucket (book review)
Mr. Tucket. It's a book that I haven't read for years and years... Not since the vacation of horrors in... '98? Somethin' like that. And I still remember it like I read it yesterday.
Francis Alphonse Tucket was traveling with his family in covered wagons when he was captured by the Pawnees. Thanks to a one-armed trapper named Jason Grimes, he escaped that and went with Jason to have lots of adventures trapping. Then he manages to 'adopt' two young orphans, Lottie and Billy, whose family died of cholera. The series is their trip to the west and Francis' family.
It's for ages 10 and up (I still love it, so there you go), and it's by Gary Paulsen. Yep, he's the author of Hatchet. *grin* I just got that and Brian's Winter at a garage sale yesterday. Reviews of those to come soon, I think. I've read Hatchet before, and it was so good, man! But ya'll know I'm into rough wilderness survival books and all that (maybe you didn't know, but anyhoo...), so, as usual, Miss Laura would not read either of these books. She might read Mr. Tucket.
So. This review is over. *curtsy* Now go read Mr. Tucket. Or another book that you'd like. Just don't stay on the computer too long! The rest of the world is calling! :-D
And *I* am going to read The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Andrews (Yes, the Mary Poppins and Sound of Music Julie Andrews) |
