Product Description:
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 that it might seem. Complications arise when Winnie is followed by a stranger who wants to market the spring water for a fortune.
Amazon.com Review:
Imagine coming upon a fountain of youth in a forest. To liveforever--isn't that everyone's ideal? For the Tuck family, eternallife is a reality, but their reaction to their fate issurprising. Award winner Natalie Babbitt (Knee-Knock Rise,The Search forDelicious) outdoes herself in this sensitive, moving adventurein which 10-year-old Winnie Foster is kidnapped, finds herself helpinga murderer out of jail, and is eventually offered the ultimategift--but doesn't know whether to accept it. Babbitt asks profoundquestions about the meaning of life and death, and leaves the readerwith a greater appreciation for the perfect cycle of nature. Intenseand powerful, exciting and poignant, Tuck Everlastingwill last forever--in the reader's imagination. An ALA NotableBook. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

If you want a book for $7 then this is the novel for you.
Natalie Babbitt's lyrical novel, Tuck Everlasting, needs to be read by a person with a large vocabulary and a love of language.
