I didn't like this book as a kid, thought I'd give it a chance as an adult. Still not a fan. It's fine, but none of the Tucks endeared themselves to me the way it seems that they've endeared themselves to the rest of the world.

A quick, simple read with a fresh and bittersweet take on immortality. Loved the detailed descriptions of nature that really painted the story into such a beautiful vision.

I went into this book blind- only knowing that I wanted to read it so I could watch the movie with Jonathon Jackson and Alexis Blidel.

I’m completely surprised with how much I loved this story. I was nervous that I would have a hard time with it since it’s categorized as a middle school book, so I thought that I would find it childish or annoying but that is the opposite of what I thought while reading.

I kept getting the feelings of eeriness and comfort which were such an odd coupling of feelings. The epilogue was beautiful and melancholic 🐸 🤎
