Description

Doomed to―or blessed with―eternal life after drinking from a magic spring, the Tuck circle of relatives wanders about trying to live as inconspicuously and comfortably as they may be able to. When ten-year-old Winnie Foster stumbles on their secret, the Tucks take her home and give an explanation for why living without end at one age is less a blessing that it could seem. Complications arise when Winnie is followed by a stranger who wants to market the spring water for a fortune.

This title has Common Core connections.

Consider coming upon a fountain of youth in a forest. To live without end–is not that everyone’s ideal? For the Tuck circle of relatives, eternal life is a reality, but their reaction to their fate is surprising. Award winner Natalie Babbitt (Knee-Knock Rise, The Seek for Delicious) outdoes herself in this sensitive, moving adventure in which 10-year-old Winnie Foster is kidnapped, finds herself helping a murderer out of jail, and is sooner or later offered the ultimate gift–but doesn’t know whether to accept it. Babbitt asks profound questions about the meaning of life and death, and leaves the reader with a greater appreciation for the very best cycle of nature. Intense and powerful, exciting and poignant, Tuck Everlasting will last without end–in the reader’s imagination. An ALA Notable Book. (Ages 9 to 12) –Emilie Coulter
