This was such a lovely rendition of a beloved classic. I read Tuck Everlasting as a child and was curious how the story would hold up as an adult. I can only say that it still had incredible power and moved me deeply. The story is charming and heartwarming, with a bittersweet gravity tying it all together. 

Tuck Everlasting stands out as novel written for children which strongly affirms their emotional and physical autonomy and takes seriously their ability to understand complex topics-- whether they be moral, existential, or conceptual. Perfect for anyone looking for a cozy, thoughtful read reflecting on death in a hopeful way.

Sweet story and beautiful narration, but overall kind of felt like something was missing. Like it was too fast? Or I wanted more time with the characters? Looking forward to watching the movie.
