Excellent book for around 5-6th grade, deep symbolism and also good for teaching figurative language

This is an example of pure children classics, it is a medium read( 9-12 year old). It may be boring at first but you must keep reading to reach the heart and soul of the story.

Wonderful book! I read this in school with my sixth grade teacher and it has stuck in my head all these years! such a very beautiful story. and not too long, so definitely a good one to give to the child who is reluctant to read!

This is a very unusual book about a family who drinks from a magic spring that causes them to never die. It makes you realize many problems that would arise from this. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's well-written and thought-provoking.

Overview: Doomed to - or blessed with - eternal life after drinking from a magic spring, the Tuck family wanders about trying to live as inconspicuously and comfortably as they can. When ten-year-old Winnie Foster stumbles on their secret, the Tucks take her home and explain why living forever at one age is less a blessing than it might seem. Complications arise when Winnie is followed by a stranger who wants to market the spring water for a fortune.
Review: This book is a classic and a must-read for every youth and adult.

I read this when I was young and have kept a copy of it ever since. I loved reading it then and still do!

Book, better than the movie! The thought I loved from the Book is if you are not a part of dying, you are not a part of living.
