Tuck Everlasting

Tuck Everlasting is a book written by Natalie Babbitt. This book is about 61 pages long so it's a very short book but still very descriptive. Tuck Everlasting is also a movie which came out about 2002.

Tuck Everlasting is about a girl (Winnie) who falls in love with a boy (Jesse) who is immortal. Jesse also develops feelings for Winnie as well. Jesse eventually asks Winnie to become immortal by drinking from the fountain of youth, like him and his family did, when she turns 17. Throughout the book and movie the rest of the family tries to convince her not to drink it because of the way the cycle of life is formed. Each one of them has a different way of telling her that they would rather have the ability to die then live forever.

Even though this book is so short I believe that everyone should read the book. This book talks about life but in a different point of view.
