Summary: Tuck Everlasting
Review: This book is about a girl named Winnie Foster. The problem is the Tucks family lives from from water that they call the spring, and Winnie knows about it. Winnie never knew that living forever could be so hard. The Tucks can't go to one place a lot because someone might see that they aren't changing in age or looks. Imagine living forever and trying to stay away from people. They have a problem with one man.The guy saw that they weren't changing and tracks them down.

When was the last time you read a book with a lot of action? " What're you doing here? said a boy to Winnie. It's my wood and I can come here anytime I want. said Winnie. Mae(one of the Tucks) has to go to the gallows to be hung. But is everyone going to find out the Tucks secret? It was a great book and movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tuck Everlasting Book Review
Review: Often times people have to make important decisions in life. In Natalie Babbit's fantasy, Tuck Everlasting Winnie has to make a decision that can change her life. In my opinion Tuck Everlasting is a book that you can't put down because you want to know what the secret is and what decision Winnie makes.

10 year old Winnie Foster lives in a touch me not cottage in Tree Gap. She doesn't like where she lives, she feels like she is in prison. One day she ventured out of the fence and into the woods. She meets up with Jesse, Mae and Miles Tuck. They throw Winnie on the horse and ride it quickly to the Tuck's cottage, not knowing that someone was watching. They tell Winnie about the fountain of youth and that it makes you live forever. Jesse tells Winnie to drink the water when she turns 17 so they could live together forever. Will Winnie drink the water or will she not?

Natalie Babbit uses characters to get points out to the readers. For instance when Tuck took Winnie out on the boat he said to her, "Know what this is, all around us Winnie, life moving growing changing never the same 2 minutes together. This water, you look out at every morning, and looks the same but it isn't, all night long its moving, coming in through the stream back there west, slipping out through the stream valleys east here, always quiet, always new, moving on. You can't hardly see the current, can you? And sometimes the wind makes it look like it's going the other way. But it's always there, the waters always moving on, and someday, after a long while, it comes to the ocean. No what happens then to the water? The sun sucks some of it up right out of the ocean and carries it back in clouds, and them it rains, and the rain falls into the stream, and the stream keeps moving on, taking it all back again. It's a wheel, Winnie. Everything's a wheel, turning and turning, never stopping. The frogs are part of it, and the bugs, and the fish, and the wood thrush, too. And people. But never the same ones. Always coming in you always growing and changing, and always moving on. That's the way it's supposed to be. That's the way it is.
It goes on to the ocean. But this rowboat now, it's stuck. If we didn't move this out ourselves it would stay here forever, trying to get loose, but stuck. That's what us Tuck's are, Winnie."

Often times people have to make important decisions in life. I think that Tuck Everlasting is a book that you can't put down because you want to know what the secret is and what decision Winnie makes. I think that this book is for ages 12 and older for a full understanding of the book, and some of the vocabulary Natalie Babbit uses.

Summary: The Tuck's Unusual Life!
Review: This fantasy book by Natalie Babbit Tuck Everlasting has been one of my favorite books since I first read it whch was in 7th grade.It stars a ten year old girl named Winnie Foster who runs away from home into the woods that her family owns. She sees a young boy named Jesse drinking from a spring and talks to him. When she asks for a drink from the sprin he becomes very uncomfortable and tries to talk her out of it. When Jesse's mom Mae and his brother Miles come with their horse, they kidnapp her and brought her to their little cottage deep into the forest. After Jesse gets to know Winnie better he tells her that when she turns 17 to drink some water from the spring. Will she drink it or decide not to?
I gave this book five stars because it is very good and i really enjoyed this book. The reason why I really like this book
is because it is a little mysterious. I think that anyone who reads this will really enjoy it. Because i'm very picky wen it comes to books. Most of th books we have to read for school i don't like. But this one I loved!!

Summary: A book of the years
Review: I read this book when I was back in elementary school and one day almost 9 years later I wished I knew the title of that book. It was so amazing and it intoxicated me even back in 5th grade. I saw a preview for the movie just a few weeks ago and I realized that was it! Thats the book I've spent all the years trying to find! I now have it in my possession and I hope to one day read it to my children and have them enjoy it as much as I did. :)

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: GREAT Book!!
Review: This book is great! I bought it because I saw the commercials for the movie and I thought it looked really good. I read it in about 3 days, and it was great. Here's the plot: 10 year old Winnie Foster is tired of her plain, dull life by the woods and soon runs away to try to find more adventure. And Adventure is SURE what she finds!! She first stumbles upon Jesse Tuck, a seventeen year old boy, (who she develors a crush on)who he and his family a long time ago, drank from a fountain. The fountain, I guess could be called the fountain of youth. Whoever drinks it will live forever. GOOD, right? WRONG!! Miles, jesse's big brother, was married and had two young children. The years passed and soon his wife was forty, and he was still 22! Anyhow, she soon learns the family's secret, and that adventure that she was looking for. Jesse wants her to live six or seven more years normally, untill she's about seventeen, same as him, and then drink from the fountain so that they can get married. Will she take his offer?!? Read it and SEE!! This is an extrememly good book, who I would recommend for all.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst book ever
Review: One star is absolutely way too many. I TRIED to read this book before the movie came out, because so many of my friends said they loved it when they were growing up. It was no doubt the most depressing, suicidal, the world is ending, type of book that I have ever read. I read a lot and I have to say I don't know where the acclaim came from. To tell you the truth, I was averaging 10 pages a day on this one, and that's about a minute a day, because it was so terrible. This is the first book that I did not finish. Never, never open it please, for your sanity and mine.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: Tuck Everlasting was probably one of the best books I had ever read! The story has a true lesson on life and made me enjoy reading books in that particular genre. Tuck Everlasting has brought spirit to my classmates and I. I reccomend this book to anyone who has a big heart and a love for reading. If I had the choice of reading it again I definitley would. Tuck Everlasting made me happy to read and it shall do the same to you.
