About 
Tuck Everlasting
by Natalie Babbitt:
A tale of a family that gains immortality and the mortal ten-year-old who befriends
them.
About the story: When ten-year-old Winnie Foster stumbles upon the Tuck
family's disturbing secret, she is forced to come to terms with her conflicting emotions.
She feels drawn to the loving, gentle and rather eccentric Tucks, but what they tell her
is too incredible to be believed. Doomed to -- or blessed with -- eternal life after
drinking from a magic spring, the Tuck family tries to make Winnie understand that the
terrible magic of the forest spring can never be revealed. The consequences to the world
could prove to be disastrous. But then an unexpected complication arises when Winnie is
followed by a stranger who wants to sell the spring water and make a fortune.
