Books like Mr. Tucket

SPOILER ALERTI read this book aloud to my four boys. It's a great boy book. It's a Western and Indians and hunting and heros of the west and horses and just a total boy book. But even from this mama perspective, it was a fun read.Until the end.We had some snow days and were really making it through this book so one evening I told the boys we had just about twenty pages left and we could make it through it before bed. In the end, a family is massacred, the hero man takes a scalp (although they don't actually say that), and it's just death and blood and sadness.It is well written to not be brutal. My seven and eight year old got the gist of it but not the total story while my 13 year old fully understood and my 10 year old was somewhere in between. But my poor youngest boys eyes were wide as saucer's as we ended the story and then I had to send them to bed. Even as sensitive as they are, there were no bad dreams and no tears. They all begged me to read book two. I will, but I am taking a little break from the series first.GREAT boy book, fun story, but I would have appreciated a warning on the ending.
