As Francis, Lottie, and Billy continue west they meet more settlers in search of a better land, though not all will finish their journeys unscathed, or at all.
I liked this final book in the Tucket series, and appreciated its well-written ending.

Tucket's Home is the last book in the Francis Tucket series. Although there is some action, it is mostly about tying up loose ends and getting to the final destination.
As in the other books, Gary Paulsen has done an excellent job of making it crystal clear that the western journey wasn't easy. If it wasn't disease and starvation trying to get the better of you, there were the elements, and worse, the kinds of wild men that gravitate to areas were the law isn't present.
This is a short quick read and good ending to the series. I highly recommend these kid-parent-and-teacher approved books.
