Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7-In this final book of the series, Paulsen completes the saga set in the 1840s. Francis Tucket, now 15, sticks to his goal of trying to find his family and keep a protective eye on his orphaned traveling companions, Billy and Lottie. The three youngsters face dangers and are challenged to use teamwork, skill, and spirit. Written in a simple, straightforward style, the book will appeal to intermediate readers who will come to know the harsh realities of life on the open plains and gain a realistic picture of that time in history. Myths about Native Americans are dispelled. Paulsen trusts his readers to handle sometimes graphically violent scenes and accept them. He tells a true adventure story in every sense of the word and ties it up with a happy ending. A perfect choice to supplement units on Westward expansion.

From Booklist
Gr. 4-8. In this fifth and final installment of the Tucket Adventures, Francis has finally recovered from his rattlesnake bite and, together with Lottie and Billy, continues the trek to Oregon. On this leg of the journey, they encounter a greenhorn English adventurer and his servants, Francis' old friend Jason Grimes, a band of murderous outlaws, and a wagon train of men heading west to establish farms for their families. As in the earlier volumes, authentic setting details, believable characters, and nearly non-stop action add up to an appealing adventure. Readers will also appreciate the afterword, which reveals how the three used their gold and silver and that Francis and Lottie marry. Paulsen offers enough background for this title to stand alone, but series fans are the most likely audience. Kay Weisman

This review is from: Tucket's Home (Paperback)
This book was the best of the series! It showed what a greatathur gary paulson is. Francis and billy and lottie all pulled together and survived. Francis even made it home to his family! I think the end was the best part where it showed all of thier lives afterward. Great job, Gary Paulson!

Fantastic! You should read all five!,

This review is from: Tucket's Home (Paperback)
Gary Paulsen has done an absoulutly fantastic job on writing the Tucket Adventures. They sure are page turners. There is a lot of suspense. It is based on a boy and his adopted family. (two children he finds in a wagon) They try to find his family in Oregon after being captured by Indians. They have many Adventures together and the story is very exciting. Do yourself a favor! Read all five!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
