Most of you guys have probably already read this book in school, but it’s very good, so I decided to review it.Natalie Babbitt’s Tuck Everlasting is a classic story about young Winnie Foster and the Tuck family. After drinking from an enchanted spring, the Tucks are sentenced to eternal life. Winnie escapes from home, which seems more like a prison, and stumbles upon the (seemingly) teenage Jesse.
He is forced to bring Winnie home when she sees the spring and pleads for a drink, unknowing of its curse. Though angry at first, Winnie gets used to Mae, Tuck, Miles and Jesse, learning their secret. However, there’s a mysterious man in a yellow suit looking for the Tucks…
This is a very interesting book, concerning matters of friendship, trust, and life and death. Though sad, I like Tuck Everlasting a lot; it’s very well written and fun to read. It has been made into a film twice, once in 1981, with Margaret Chamberlain and Paul Flessa, and again in 2002, starring Gilmore Girls' Alexis Bledel as Winnie, along with William Hurt, Sissy Spacek, and Ben Kingsley.
Once again, I’d like to remind you about the Dekoposh Book Club. I think it’ll be very fun, and thing’s will get interesting once we get more members!
I hope everyone watched the Inauguration this morning; my thoughts go out to Senator Kennedy.
Here’s to a better future for America! Happy reading!
