Tuck Everlasting

Book • 1975
In 'Tuck Everlasting', Natalie Babbitt tells the story of Winnie Foster, a ten-year-old girl who stumbles upon the Tuck family's secret: they are immortal after drinking from a magical spring 87 years prior.

The Tucks, consisting of parents Mae and Miles, and their sons Jesse and Miles Jr., live in hiding to keep their immortality a secret.

When Winnie is kidnapped by the Tucks to protect their secret, she learns about the complexities and challenges of eternal life.

The story explores themes of immortality, family, and the natural order of life and death.

As Winnie navigates her relationship with the Tucks, particularly Jesse, she must make a crucial decision about whether to drink from the spring and join them in eternal life or to live a normal, mortal life.
