Search - Tuck Everlasting

I was supposed to read this book in middle school, but didn't at all. I wasn't very into books then. When a friend of mine let me borrow this book, I was able to read it in two hours. It was cute. A young girl who feels imprisoned in her own home starts to explore outside of her boundaries and finds an interesting young man. Because of a certain situation, she ends up going with him and his family to learn a secret kept for 84 years.

Although it was sweet, too many times it seemed a bit too sad and other times it was really happy. It was a unique story and I am glad I finally read it for real.

This is a wonderful book for children of all ages. It is a story of discovery, of the possibilities of living forever and the realities of being mortal. Most importantly is is a story of true friendship and sacrifice.
