This book is for all ages and it makes one stop and think....how should I live my life before I get to my final destination. I read the book a few years ago and still think about the bottom line of the book on a regular basis. Think of how much the Tuck family could have done while living forever - how much good they could have done for others. We're all in our 'rented' space for a brief period on earth - make the best of our time and don't be idle with the gifts you have to share with others. A great book for middle schoolers through adults - I highly recommend the book.

Tuck Everlasting is Amazing
This book review is about a book titled Tuck Everlasting. It is by an author by the name of Natalie Babbitt. The story is about a family ¿the Tucks¿ who drink from a magic spring, and become immortal. The Tuck family meets a little girl named Winnie Foster who comes upon their secret. So they take Winnie, and told her what happens when you drink from the magic spring. During all of this, a mysterious man tries to steal the magic spring water, and sell it for a profit. If you want to find out any more, I guess you¿ll have to read the book for yourself.<BR/> I thought this book was very unique. Natalie Babbitt uses very descriptive words. When you read this book you will feel like you are right there with the Tucks. When the book describes Winnie Foster it will remind you of when you were a child, always running around and exploring. I believe the message to this story is ¿Be careful what you wish for¿. That is the theme of the story because some people in the real world ask for things they wish they had, but they never know how bad it could be if they did get what they want. This is a good but unique book.<BR/> If you like books really unique story lines, and good endings this is a book for you. Tuck Everlasting makes you think about life. What would you do if you could live forever? Would you think it is a good thing, or would you think that it is horrible that you could never die? What do you live for if you can live forever? This book is one of the best books you will read in your life time. Tuck Everlasting is a book for you!

An everlasting story
I read the book Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit. It is fun, magic and fantasy all in one book. The book is about a ten year old girl named Winnie Foster. She has a really boring life living behind a fence in the woods. So Winnie decides to run away. She meets a boy named Jesse Tuck and discovers that his family has a secret: they have eternal life after drinking from a magic spring. The Tucks then have to kidnap Winnie until she promises not to give away their secret and explain themselves. Winnie grows close to Mae (the mother), Tuck (the father), and Miles and Jesse (brothers). But trouble arises when an evil man tries to take Winnie away and give away the Tuck's secret. I loved this magical adventure. The positives were the characters. They are funny, nice, and add love to the book. Also, there were many cliffhangers that encouraged the reader to keep reading. And finally, the magic and fantasy made the book really enjoyable. But there were some negatives, too. Parts of the story were rushed, so not enough details were given, making some things confusing. And the beginning was a bit dragging, so it may not pull readers right away. But other than that, the book is very well done. The writing style is a bit old-fashioned. The author uses terms that aren't used as often anymore. Also, she has a very formal way of writing. I recommend this book for any age because it is a fun fantasy, and the characters are likeable. It is appropriate for young kids, and not too "little" for older kids. It can be read for pleasure, or anything else, like reports. Fans of Harry Potter and Twilight might like this story, because it has a familiar theme: a lonely kid falls upon a secret and bonds with the people that share it. It's more similar to Twilight because as in that book, the people will always be alive. Also, the book Ingo, by Helen Dunsmore, has a similar theme of discovery. Finally, Tuck Everlasting was a great book and can be enjoyed by everyone.

Tuck Everlasting
Books that I commonly read convey chatoyant covers, which urge me to read them. Tuck Everlasting is a non fiction novel. It's about a family, the Tuck Family, who once drank water from a spring that prevents anyone who drinks it to age. Soon a young girl and a bitter stranger find out about the Tuck's secret, and an adventure begins when the Tuck's and the young girl struggle to protect the spring from being found. Blithely, I can state that Natalie Babbitt is a divine author who puts a great deal of thinking into her work. This book is an all time favorite for most of its readers, and if you haven't read Tuck Everlasting, I potently recommend you to read the synopsis and become as thrilled as I was the first time I read it.

i liked this book
Tuck Everlasting <BR/> In Tuck Everlasting, Natalie Babbitt makes life last forever from the Tuck family. She does a great job of just letting you live your life as long as possible and don¿t take it for granted because you only live life once. The book was very interesting and inspiring as well. It is also a very moving story to read. <BR/> The main story starts out with a girl named Winnie meeting a family the Tucks who live forever drinking from a spring found in her wood, 100 years before. She learns to start loving and caring for the family like her own, and the family does the same to her. As the story goes on, she has to choose to live forever or just live her life until she dies. Jesse, a family member of the Tucks, gives Winnie a little bottle of water from the spring, he tells her to think about drinking it at 17 years old and find the Tucks. <BR/> After 79 years of not visiting Tree gap they found out that Winnie died of old age and didn¿t drink the spring water, she dumped the water on a frog. The Tucks were happy to find out that she did live her life until the end.

6th grade student in Glendale, AZ TUCK EVERLASTING
This book is one of the best books that I have ever read. The magical story of the Tuck family is both exiting and so good you can't put it down. Many years ago, the Tuck family found a spring and drank from it. Turnes out, the spring was magical. When a young girl named Winnie came along, they were forced to tell her their secret. When she wants in on the spring, one of the children her age gives her a bottle of the water and tells her she can drink it. That water was magical because if you drink it, you can stay the same forever and never grow older. I loved reading this book, and I gave this book a rating of five stars. Also I think that girls would find this book more interesting than the boys would find it.
