andy: Great book. I got it for school, probably wouldn't pick it out on my own, but it was an enjoyable read. Loved the deep discussions about how life works. Gets you thinking. One part was slightly problematic: Hints of romance between a 100+ year old character with the appearance of a 17-year old and a 10 year old girl.

Suzyq: I am a 4th grade teacher and used this book for a novel study/Literature circle. The following are honest reviews from some of my students.
I would give this book 5 stars and would recommend it to older grades because it may be hard for younger kids to understand the plot and it involves immortality/ death/dying. My favorite part is when the stranger tries to take Winnie away but fails.
I would give this book 4.5 stars and recommend it to readers who like suspense and mystery. My favorite part was Mae's son tries to break Mae out of prison.

大西吉巳: It was a bit literally, but too much. I very much enjoyed the story to the very end. The story somehow reminded me of a local park that has a small water fall whose water, if you drink, is supposed to enable you to have a long healthy life.

Heidi: Winnie Foster is tired of being cooped up and pampered. She is the only child of the Fosters who live in the "touch me not" cottage at the edge of the small woods. At ten, Winnie wants to see the world. Winnie promises the toad sitting by her gate that tomorrow she will run away to the woods. The next day, Winnie makes good on her promise. As she traverses the small wood, she wonders why she has never bothered to explore them before. Suddenly, a small movement catches her eye. Winnie peers around a large tree and sees a handsome teenager drinking from a small spring. Winnie decides she wants a drink, but Jessie Tuck insists she not drink from that spring. Suddenly, Winnie is tossed on the back of a horse and kidnapped by the Tuck family. They have an unbelievable story to tell her about that small spring. Will Winne protect their secret?

What I Loved:
*Tuck Everlasting is the book that took hold of me and rooted in my soul when read it. I was ten years old when I first met Winnie and the Tucks. Over thirty years later, this small little book and its wonderful characters are still speaking to me. I adore this book! It is one that will always remain on my shelf. It is the...

Pammycats: Tuck Everlasting is the fifth book that my daughter and I have read this summer. It is a winning and thoroughly engaging story that has left both of us talking and thinking.
The main thought of the book is, "would you want to live forever?" Good question! We follow the main character, Winnie, as she tackles this complicated decision.
At the beginning of the story Winnie is a very sheltered and safe little girl (10 years old). She plays in her carefully groomed front yard, watching things around her (including a thirsty toad). Her world is safe, slow, and somnolent - seemingly napping in the hot, dry sun.
The catalyst for change occurs when a man in a yellow suit (no, not hat, you Curious George fans). He is asking questions and seems unduly curious when they (the man and Winnie) hear a strange, almost elfin tune. The man is excited. The girl (Winnie)is motivated to make a surge forward. She runs into the forest where she discovers a young man (Jesse Tuck) drinking from a fountain hidden under stones at the base of a tree. I know, it sounds like a fairy tale. The story does come across as magical. The question is do you believe? Does Winnie believe?
Winnie is taken...
