Tuck Everlasting
by Natalie Babbitt
Tuck Everlasting had beckoned onto me when I was much younger. However, I only got hold of the book last week, as I was nonchalantly skimming through rows of spines and secondhand titles. The experience I had while reading Tuck Everlasting is every bit what I expected; I was transported during the peak of an August summer, in front of the touch-me-not cottage at the edge of the Treegap village, as I, the reader, together with little Winnie Foster, yearn with an endearing penchant for whatever mystery lies beyond the woods.
Written almost half a century ago, perhaps one could say that Tuck Everlasting, in many ways, is similar to the Tuck family themselves—everlasting because of its universal theme, pulling its readers, both young and old, into a charming coming-of-age adventure. Because when you finished reading the last page of the epilogue as the reader finally bids Mae and Tuck farewell, you would be pulled into an embrace similar to the dawn of a childhood summer—subtle, melancholic, and bittersweet.
