Summary: Winnie Foster
Review: Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is a good read. Winnie is one of the main people in the story. The secrete of the Tuck's is in here hand. She get to really know the Tucks and when Mae (mother of the Tucks) gets in a sticky spot, Winnie has to find a way to help her.
This is a great book of those who like really active books. In this book The tucks and Winnie are always moving. They found Winnie in the forest that her dad owns. She spots a boy washing is face in a spring of water next to the tree. They way i see it Winnie was tought a very important lesson. She was should that living forever would not be this best thing i life. The Tuck have to stay forever young on the out side. but there souls grow older and older. It is a very good book one of the best i have read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: Tuck Everlasting is opne of those books that stays with you always. I know it did for me. I read it three years ago, and yet it still haunts me with its theme: what is immortality really worth? Why are we here?
The story is deceptively simple: Winnie Foster is a ten-year-old girl who one day discovers that people who can live forever are living on her land. They are the Tucks, and they gained their immortality by drinking from a spring that is also on Winnie's family's land. They welcome Winnie, who soon becomes comfortable in their presence.
All is not well, however. The Man in the Yellow Suit, as he is known, is a sinister character who knows the Tuck's secret and wants to exploit it for money. When he comes to confront the Tucks, something dreadful happens, and Winnie is thrown into a chain of events that will ultimately force her to decide between immortality and death.
This is a beutifully written book. Ms. Babbit's prose is gorgeous, often flowling like poetry. She elgantly and ably handles a subject (namely, death and immortality) that has stumped many authors before her. The book is haunting and poigant, and will stay with you forever.
If you are looking for a new classic, look no further. Tuck Everlasting is a book that trancends generations and unites us with its timeless themes and classic writing.

Summary: Tuck Everlasting
Review: This is the story of Winnie Foster, a lonely only child. She longs to be independent and do something that makes a difference in the world. She wants desperately to run away to show her independence. She chickens out and instead goes to the woods that her family owns. While there she sees a boy leaned up against a tree in a clearing. He takes a drink from a spring in the ground. She introduces herself and asks for a drink. Jesse won't let her. He tells her it would be a terrible mistake. It is then that Mae and Miles Tuck show up and in order to keep her from drinking from the spring they kidnap her! They promise to take her back once they explain things to her and make her understand why she can't take a drink. During her time with them Winnie grows to love the Tucks and does extrodinary things to help save them.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Descriptive Book
Review: The book was very descriptive from the beggining to the end. Especially when the text says, "And all at once the sun was uncomfortably hot, the dust oppressive, and the meager grass along it's edges somewhat ragged and forlorn."

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: decent book with a lesson
Review: the book was okay. It was fantasy, but it was somewhat believable.The entire book was full of difficult decisions. Winnie had to decide between her "proud" boring family or immortality. the author makes any reader appreciate what it means to be a part of the cycle of life. Many people would like to be immortal, but the author points out every bad thing about it.

not my type of book

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I didn't really like it
Review: I didn't really like the book. I thought it was pretty boring. The first chapter was about a road and cows. I payed attention, but I felt like I could have slept through it! I mean Winnie talked to a toad! In my opinion it was a bad book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Best Book So Far In 5th Grade-Brian
Review: I thought this book was fabulous. It was about the Tucks who lived forever and a girl named Winnie Foster who runs away and meets up with the Tucks. I would love to live forever and sometimes I felt like I was in the Tuck's house. I think this book should of received the John Newberry Medal.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tuck Everlasting By Natalie Babbitt
Review: I think that the book Tuck Everlasting written by Natalie Babbitt was pretty good. I like it because the text did a great job of describing things. For example, chapter 1 the text says; "And all at once the sun was uncomfortably hot, the dust oppressive, and the meager grass along its edges somewhat ragged and forlorn." In this sentence you can picture this hot sun beating down on you and the grass being somewhat wore out. This is an example of why I liked the book. On part I did not like in this book was in chapter 10; in this chapter they talk about how Jesse had a shotgun. I did not like this because I like to not hear about guns. This was uncalled for in my opinion. I thought the book Tuck Everlasting was pretty good even though there were parts I did not like. Overall the good overruled the bad. So from me to you I say you "read it." You will get a few good lessons out of it. When you read this book you should be open to all the adjectives Natalie Babbitt writes in the text of Tuck Everlasting. You may want to live forever now as a kid. When you read this book you may change your mind. There are a lot of things you would miss out on if you don't read this book.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: It's worth reading
Review: I thought Tuck Everlasting was a very enjoyable book. Tuck Everlasting is about a little girl named Winnie Foster who meets this family named the Tuck's. The strange part about the Tuck's is that they can live forever. Winnie runs away from home to the woods behind her house where she stumbles along a 17 year old Tuck boy Jessie. Jessie is on his way along with his brothers back to his parents house where they stop every 80 years. Jessie feels bad for Winnie, so he brings her back with him to his parents house with them. Winnie ends up staying with them for a couple weeks. But then this man in a yellow suit shows up at Winnie's house where he makes a deal with her dad that if he could get Winnie back, her dad would give the man in the yellow suit his woods. Then a couple more events happen and eventually Winnie will die. The bottom line is this book is full of suspence and adventure and it's a book worth reading.
