Good book series for young readers. It's less daunting reading the five individual books though.

A great little adventure about Tucket., a fourteen year old boy surviving living in the wild west. It was a quick and fun read. It was shallow, not a big moral every event wrapped around. It is definitely for kids under the age of 13. Though if you need a quick read this is your book.

I read this with Aidan and liked the adventure and journey through the West. Good for a 4th grade boy.

Nostalgia

Oh, the nostalgia. Read this series in grade school. It got me reading. Each book is a good story that can be read alone. A good introduction to hardship. It's one of my go to rereads.

This collection was awesome. I loved the fact that I did not need to have five different books. This book was an easy read. It keeps you wanting more. And more is what you get. This is one of those books you just cant put down. I know that sounds like everybody else but its true. The book pulls you in. You start to really feel for the characters. This book brings your imagination to life. All in all this book was just fun to read. And that is all that really matters.

Great! FAst paced, always interesting.

A cowboy story geared for children! Fourteen year old Tucket follows his instincts and remains good and kind as he learns to survive after he is kidnapped on the Oregon Trail by Indians. He has a lot of adventures as he struggles to find his way home, and continues as a positive example of good values. I enjoyed the quiet pace of this interesting book, and the reassuring feeling of a guaranteed happy ending.

I loved the book, there was always something happening to keep your from being board. All of the books had a great plot and the details where great, I felt like I was in the wild west in the 1800's. Although I give this book 4 stars because I felt the end was rushed.

Great to read aloud with my nine now turned ten year old son - we both enjoyed these books.

G and I decided this gets a 4.5 stars.

His comment: "At first I didn't like it but then it got better." (He got pretty into it, as we went along.)

And I love the relationship between Francis Tucket and Jason Grimes. Of course.

I loved reading this book and actually read Call Me Francis Tucket first which is the second book in the series. Then I wanted to read the whole series; I was happy to find the whole series in this one book. This is a very realistic depiction of the sometimes horrible challenges of the Oregon Trail.

Just plain great writing.

This one will sweep you magically away to the pre-Old West. Classic Paulsen, whose writing skills can effectiively carry you anywhere.
