Tuck Everlasting is written in such a gentle, thoughtful way that I had to slow down and really savor it. Not because it was heavy or hard to get through, but because the pace and tone made me want to just… take my time.
This book pulled me back to those quiet, simple days when I’d read on a porch swing or under a tree, totally lost in a story. There’s something so nostalgic about this book. It made me feel like a kid again, in the best way.
And of course, I had to rewatch the movie afterward, which I hadn’t seen in nearly 20 years. Just as lovely and bittersweet as I remembered.
If you’ve been craving something soft, meaningful, and a little bit magical, give this one a go.

Read-aloud for Upper El, so I was particularly attuned to Babbitt's way of describing people, especially the man in the yellow suit--she does not write one direct criticism as she introduces him, but nonetheless, he seems a little menacing. And so on throughout the book. The kids were of course spellbound.
