Mr. Tucket by Gary Paulsen

Francis Tucket is a 14 year old boy traveling west with his family. He is captured by the Pawnee Indians but gets rescued by a mountain man, Jason Grimes. Grimes gives Francis the name Mr. Tucket. While traveling west together to look for Mr. Tucket's family, the two men go through great encounters. They are side by side through everything until Mr. Grimes is killed by one of the Pawnee warriors.

This story takes readers through a magnificent adventure of both reality and imagination. It would be any young boys dream to live off the land and turn into a man at the same time. Mr. Tucket kept my attention the whole way through because Gary Paulsen never lets the action stop. Every time one event is over, another begins and every situation is more exciting than the previous. I would suggest any funloving person interested in autonomy and adventure of the old west, to read this book.
