Tuck Everlasting

This a good but not great book. I feel that they should have made Winnie a little bit older then that. But, other then that the book wasn't so bad.

This year was my first time teaching Tuck Everlasting to my 6th grade class, and it proved to be a treasury of figurative and sensory language. The examples are almost endless in this book! Otherwise, it is entertaining, but shallow. The characters have little depth, and the plot barely scratches the surface of what could have been done with it. Everything is under-developed, except for the language. It is so heavy on setting, in fact, that plot and character almost take a back seat. I would like to see this book adapted into a more densely developed book for older readers.

This book is a powerful read that delves into complex themes and emotions, leaving a lasting impact on the reader. The romantic elements within the story add depth and create a sense of connection with the characters. It provides a platform for readers to explore their own hidden feelings and fears, making it a relatable and thought-provoking read. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a moving and captivating story.

i like the book!

This book brings up an excellant question:
If you were given the chance to live forever,would you?
It really makes you stop and think...
Would I really want to see all of my loved ones grow old while I stayed the same...forever...
I recomend this book.

I saw the movie and read the book, and the book was much better than the movie. I loved everything and I told my friends to read it and they loved it.

Tuck Everlasting is the story of a family that never ages. Destined to live forever, the family must hide away so that no one discovers their secret. Filled with imagination, the novel teaches the merits of mortality, which perhaps cannot quite be understood at the age this book was intended to be read (third to fifth grade). However, it's an interesting book and, I think, worth reading.

It's about the Tuck family who drinks this magic water from a pond in the woods and becomes invincible. A girl maned Winnie bumps into them and so begins the tale. She meets Jesse Tuck in a little clearing and they start talking. They kidnapp her and at first she was a little scared, but then starts to relax a bit. She lives with them and learns about their inmortality and the pond. A the while a man is spying on them and when they confront him Mae kills him and she then goes to jail. Winnie and the others go and rescue her and Jesse gives her a bottle of the magic water from the pond. He then leaves and Winnie has to make a chioce. Instead of drinking the water, she pours it on a frog and thus ends the story.
