Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt

Tuck Everlasting ...



Wow.

I didn't think I would like this book so much. I borrowed this book from my teacher, because I considered it a really light read and just what I needed in my busy schedule. I'm amazed at how big a message this delivered in so little number of pages.

Tuck Everlasting tries to show how immortality can be more a curse than a blessing. The Tuck family discovered the fountain of youth... but they don't want it. We them cross paths with Winnie, an incredibly curious 10 year old girl and they struggle to keep her from discovering their secret.

I really loved this book. Nathalie Babbitt's ability to create the perfect atmosphere was great. Her descriptive qualities could make you believe you were actually in the story. All the characters were so adorable and important in their own way. I fell in love with Jesse Tuck!

The ending was really bittersweet, but enjoyable.

I'm really glad I decided to read this book. 5 stars.
