Cute, easy to read, nice message.

TUCK EVERLASTING is an ALA Notable book, and deservedly so. It just sucks you right in. And . . . about the toad . . . No, I'd better not say . . .

From back cover: 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.

this is one of the best ooks i have ever read. i read it for the first time when i was 7 and a 1/2 and now by age 10 1/2 have read it at least 10 times. it is a great book for many ages.

I read this in junior high and fell in love with the story, if you liked the movie, you'll love the book!

Family with eternal life.

I read it for school! And it is really dramatic! I loved it ! I would say... people who loves romantic stories! Take it!

A bit like a fairytale in some respects, though there are no fairies in it. The beginning reminded me just a bit of the start of To Kill a Mockingbird. Beautiful writing and a story that leaves you feeling good, though I wish it had been longer. It is not, as I had for some reason assumed when I ordered it, about a dog!
From the cover: "A kidnapping, a murder, a jailbreak. If this were Winnie Foster's story only, it would be like any other great adventure: you would come to the end, with all resolved, and that would be that. But this is also the story of the Tuck family and therefore, thought it has a beginning and a middle, it can never end. The two stories cross each other near the village of Treegap during a handful of hot days in the 1880's...and when those days are over, young Winnie is left to make a fundamental choice. What she chooses at last is not what she might have chosen at first."

It was a very good story, much better than the movie.
