Tuck Everlasting

Natalie Babbitt

3.8 AVERAGE


I remember reading this way back in probably around fourth grade or so (so around 2003-04 ish.) I liked it then and I still quite enjoy it. A well-told tale that says what it needs to and then ends. I thought the film was also nice and moving.

This is actually my second time reading this book. I read it as a kid, and remembered liking it, but didn't remember much more than that. I still liked it as an adult, and my kids liked it too. It was almost as fun to discuss living forever after finishing the book. Good book to read as a group.

This book is a tear jerker and overall a really intriguing read.
