Rating: 2 stars
Summary: you should read it at some point in your childhood
Review: Although this book is considered a sort of classic children's story I must admit I was some what bored with it at times. The author did teach me to further appreciate life's cycle, but the way she went on describeing things in such great detail made me wonder if I should go on with reading it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gripping. Un-put-downable.
Review: My ten year old daughter and I read this book out loud together. We both thought it was tremendous. Beautifully written, it has a lot of food for thought for adults as well as for children. A classic!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A haunting tale of the nature of life and death
Review: I read this book as a small child and was immediately enraptured by its beautiful prose and touching characters, but something dark sat at the back of my brain when I finished this book. Now, as an adult, I have reread this book numerous times, and that haunted feeling still persists, that feeling that this book is about so much more than the blessings and curses of eternal life. It is about the very nature of life and death, and the inexplicable yearning we have inside us, even as children, to know and define it, to command it, and, ultimately, to place ourselves within it. This is a wonderful book for young people to read, even if they cannot yet grasp its deepest meanings. In time, they will be lured back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A tremendous novel.
Review: I read "Tuck Everlasting" in 5th grade as part of a project but ended up falling in love w/ it! It's been years since I've read it but I can still remember the book vividly. The plot really made me think. I have recommended this book to my younger brother and would recommend it to anyone. It's one of those stories that will stay with me for a long time to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Story of a girl who discovers a family who lives forever.
Review: I've read this excellent book three times. It makes you think. Would you live forever? -Liz Age: 12

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE PRICE OF ETERNAL YOUTH
Review: One of my all-time favorites, this book offers its heroine the tantalizing prospect of eternal life and the option of choosing the age she wants to spend it. Imagine--to live forever as young as you wish, with no threat of death; could be a lonely, secretive existence, though, without someone to share it.

The arrival of a suspicious stanger asking odd questions starts a chain reaction of events which cause distress to two families who do not even know each other. The critical but contradictory needs for Continuing Secrecy and Mercenary Investigation place 10-year-old Winnie Foster in physical and moral jeopardy. She will have to make decisions which would be difficult even for adults--with lifelong consequences. A remendous burden for a young girl.

Winnie leads a sheltered life with her strict, unemotional family in the Touch-Me-Not house at the edge of her father's forest. Is a toad a proper pet or companion for her? What makes the "fairy music" which she hears on summer nights? Legally, who has the right to the special spring: her father (who unwittingly owns it); the family of four Tucks who discovered it and then tried to protect mankind from abusing it; or the mysterious stranger with his private agenda of greed--a nameless man who knows too much for his own, or anyone else's, good.

Set in unspecified "frontier" country of no nationality or date, this book is as timeless in its appeal as are the warm, delightful Tucks themsevles. One event naturally succeeds another with inevitable logic and frightening momentum, until several shattering climaxes release the literary tension. Can a mere child successfully defy the local Constabulary even to save her special friends, the beloved Tuck family? Will Winne save the bottle of spring water from Jesse, to use when she too is 17? A ten year old girl with her destiny in her very hands! Will she choose to become one the Tucks everlasting? This is one Fabulous Fantasy for readers of all ages!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was kinda weird.
Review: I had to read this book for school, so I did not have any say in it. I would of gave it five stars if Winnie had drank the special water. The story didn't really come clear to me. I mean, why did Jesse keep calling Winnie "Winnie Foster" instead of just Winnie? All in all, I thought this book was strange.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tuck Everlasting
Review: Tuck Everlasting is a great book, that can make up many peoples mind. I really enjoyed reading it, and liked doing the project too!!!!:) It is about a girl who wants to drink from the well. The end is very emotional, but it is all very fun to read!!!!!!:

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's a very good book
Review: This book is real good and kind of sad. It's about this girl that meets this boy's family that drank out of a magic fountain that kept them that age forever and would never die. The boy(Jesse) asks the girl to drink some water so they can stay together forever. I'm not gonna tell you the rest. I don't wanna spoil it. I suggest you read it. it's real da bombie!

Rating: 5 stars
