Tuck Everlasting, with Connected Readings

Tuck Everlasting, with Connected Readings by Unknown

The classic novel about a young girl who stumbles upon a family's stunning secret

What if you could live forever?

Is eternal life 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.

Praise for Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt:

A fearsome and beautifully written book that can't be put down or forgotten. --The New York Times

Exciting and excellently written. --The New York Times Book Review

With its serious intentions and light touch the story is, like the Tucks, timeless. --Chicago Sun-Times

Probably the best work of our best children's novelist. --Harper's

Natalie Babbitt's great skill is spinning fantasy with the lilt and sense of timeless wisdom of the old fairy tales. . . . It lingers on, haunting your waking hours, making you ponder. --The Boston Globe

This book is as shapely, crisp, sweet, and tangy as a summer-ripe pear. --Entertainment Weekly

Babbitt, Natalie: - Artist and writer Natalie Babbitt (1932-2016) is the award-winning author of the modern classic Tuck Everlasting and many other brilliantly original books for young people. As the mother of three small children, she began her career in 1966 by illustrating The Forty-Ninth Magician, written by her husband, Samuel Babbitt. She soon tried her own hand at writing, publishing two picture books in verse. Her first novel, The Search for Delicious, was published in 1969 and established her reputation for creating magical tales with profound meaning. Kneeknock Rise earned Babbitt a Newbery Honor in 1971, and she went on to write--and often illustrate--many more picture books, story collections, and novels. She also illustrated the five volumes in the Small Poems series by Valerie Worth. In 2002, Tuck Everlasting was adapted into a major motion picture, and in 2016 a musical version premiered on Broadway. Born and raised in Ohio, Natalie Babbitt lived her adult life in the Northeast.
