Awesome

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!

Tuckt's Home

This is a got to have book.If you want adventure and have read the other 4 books then you should really read this.Paulsen is one of the best writters ever.I really like how he is so discripted and he knows what he is talken about.He is brilent.This book is about how tucket and billy and lottie are comen home.The only way to get there is to go threw desert an find the nearest settlement and look for his parents.The end was the best part but i cant tell u so i will leave u with this READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic! You should read all five!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A GREAT THRILLER

I greatly enjoyed this book. I belive it was just a continuation upon Gary Paulsen's long list of great books. Any one who is a Gary Paulsen fan will LOVE this book.
