I read this book in 6th grade. I am now a senior in high school. However, I still remember the love I had for this book. I remember that I wanted them to end up together and was devastated when they didn't. In my head I made up my own ending and how they would've live forever together. It's crazy how some books never leave your mind and ignite a passion for books. This book will always hold a special place in my heart, which is mainly due to the cover bringing up memories for me.

Anyway amazing book that's a quick read, so please read it and make your own memories of it.

This book is the ultimate in cozy fantasy for young readers. I read it again as an adult and it gave me so many tender feelings. The film is a brilliant adaptation, and I am so grateful that this book is available as an audiobook read by Alexis Bledel from the film. Remarkable.

Winnie Foster feels trapped in her yard with her mom and grandmother always watching over her. One morning she is up early and decides to go into the woods near her house. She finds a teenage boy that yells at her over trying to drink water by a tree. A tree that her family owns since they own the woods. Eventually Winnie is taken by the Tuck family to explain about the tree and the water. Unknown to them they are followed by someone who is not looking out for their best interests. I really liked this book. It includes a kidnapping, murder and eternal life.

Tuck Everlasting is the type of story that, no matter how old you get, coming back to feels like home. I was obsessed with the movie when I was a kid, so much so that I named my dog Tucker. The story is both heartwarming and breaking and I get choked up at the end every time.

The audiobook, narrated by Alexis Bledel, is stunning and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to reread this classic.
