Work detailsTuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt (1975)
Low fantasy title about a girl who discovers a family of immortals and must decide whether to drink the magic water or not.  Phill242 | May 6, 2013 |  0-395-73267-0 1996 Houghton Mifflin-Boston Paperback 139 pages Paperback Plus Series (  ) Yona | May 2, 2013 | Exploring the concept of immortality has never been sweeter. Babbitt shares how the 'fountain of youth' idea is not all one would hope for. The story is enchanting and dream-like. I fell in love with the characters, and felt I was right there with each one. You know a good author when they have the ability to capture your heart. This is a story for all ages, 1 to infinity. ( ) hopefully86 | May 1, 2013 | This book would be good to use in literature circles to help children more deeply explore it. DakotahEpple | Apr 30, 2013 | The Tuck family are unique in that they never age. They drank from the eternal spring and will live forever at the same age. A ten year old name Winnie Foster stumbles upon this family and is taught that living forever might not be as good as it sounds. This book is an excellent book to introduce critical thinking to young children. It touches on some very thought provoking topics and would be a great book to have many class discussion about.

 The descriptions and word-pictures in this children's chapter book were beautiful and fresh, giving new life to a little town in the 1800's. Because this book was written to children, the main character is a typical child - wanting adventure, but scared to take it; unhappy with the rules set in her life; naive and innocent in the ways this world works. The other characters, too, have a sort of childish nature, whether it be from the viewpoint they are seen - Winnie's viewpoint - or simply from being written for the audience this book was intended for.
