Tucket's Gold
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Tucket's Gold I am writing about the book called Tucket's Gold. This book is an adventure for the grades of 4 - 6th. My book Tucket's Gold takes place after the mexican war. Along the of the Oregon Trail. Francis the main character is trying to find his parents along the Oregon Trail with his two friends he found in the other books on his way towards the Oregon Trail. One night Francis was watching out when a snake bit him. He and his friends Billie and Lottie were taken to this pueblo village to be treated for the snake bite. Billie and this pueblo boy teaches Billie how to hunt with bow and arrow. Towards the end of the book they find some gold and silver and some wild ponies. One day they were riding the ponies towards the oregon trail when Courtweiler and Dubs that are two bad guys meet up with them and they try to kill Francis when Billie out of nowhere he shoots them with arrows and killed them. Then they were back to head towards the oregon trail. I would give this book a 5 stars if it was a 5 star scale.
