Mr Tucket

It's 1848, and Francis Tucket receives a rifle of his own on his fourteenth birthday. He never dreamt he'd be needing it so soon. Only hours later Francis finds himself separated from his family, captured and taken by an Indian tribe. He begins a journey across the Wild West. Living for the moment and fighting for survival, Francis learns that friendships last longer out on the plains, but so do personal vendettas. And when your life hangs in the balance, it's every man for himself. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary.
