Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbit

(Paperback, 160 pages, first published in 1975)

Critically acclaimed when it was first published, Natalie Babbitt's Tuck Everlasting has become a much-loved, well-studied modern-day classic. Now a major motion film featuring stars Alexis Bledel, Ben Kingsley, and Sissy Spacek!

What if you could live forever? Is this a blessing or a curse? That is what young Winnie Foster must decide when she discovers a spring on her family’s property whose waters grant immortality. Members of the Tuck family, having drunk from the spring, tell Winnie of their experiences watching life go by and never growing older.

But then Winnie must decide whether or not to keep the Tucks’ secret―and whether or not to join them on their never-ending journey.
