It is 1848 and 14-year-old Francis Tucket is heading west on the Oregon Trail. When he lags behind to practice shooting his new rifle, he is captured by Pawnees. It will take wild horses, hostile tribes, and a mysterious one-armed man to help Francis come of age and survive the gritty frontier.
  • Make Way for Books Annotation

Francis Tucket’s journey is more than a survival story—it’s a transformation. What begins in fear becomes a test of grit, heart, and growth as he faces an unforgiving landscape and learns from a man who models more than survival skills. Readers are drawn into the story of a boy growing into responsibility, courage, and quiet strength in the face of real danger and hard-earned freedom.
