Tuck Everlasting

Do you like mystical and mysterious woods? Then this is your book. I really enjoyed reading Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. The story is set in magical and mystical forest. Something exciting happens in Treegap and you never want to stop reading.

I do not recommend this book for kids under the age of 10, unless they have a large vocabulary and appreciation for descriptive language. The reader should be able to appreciate the language Natalie Babbitt uses. The imagery and descriptive writing are very complex. A kid reading this novel needs to know how to identify the author's use of similes, metaphors, foreshadow, and personification so that they can understand what she is trying to communicate. There are also many large words that you would need to stop and think about. If you don't know the word then it would be harder for a younger reader to understand the meaning, particularly those words that have multiple meanings.

I also enjoyed the book's main characters. Babbitt creates characters that are very serious and heart warming. The Tucks are serious about their problem and they really want to fix it but there is no way they can. When Mae is worried, her music box makes her feel warm and soothed inside. When they try to befriend Winnie she thinks their voices are kind and friendly.

I have told you what I like about the wonderful book Tuck Everlasting and that I would not recommend this book for children under the age of 10. But if you like mystical and mysterious woods and have a large vocabulary then this is your book for only $7.00.

Enjoy!!!

Tuck Everlasting

Do you like adventure and romance? Then Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is your book to read. Then you can go on an adventure with the Tuck family and Winnie.

This book has a bit of everything -- romance, adventure, and action. It all started when Winnie always thought she was in a prison in her fenced backyard. One day she snuck out of her house and went to the woods. There, she saw a boy drinking from a spring. His name was Jesse. Then she was taken to his father's home by force, and the family told Winnie that the spring that Jesse was drinking from made them live forever.

I would recommend this book to anyone who has a HUGE imagination and a good dictionary inside their head, because the novel has complex phrases. I like this book because it has romance, action, and adventure.

Have fun reading Tuck Everlasting!

Tuck Everlasting


This book will grab your free time if you like descriptions and usage of literary devices. This wonderful book is about a special family who meet a ten year old girl who learns their secret--a secret that in the wrong hands could cause a catastrophe.

What I liked about this book is that the author, Natalie Babbitt, uses descriptions to allow you to picture the scenes perfectly in your hopefully wonderful imagination. I loved this book inside and out because the author builds suspense through usage of carefully chosen literary devices. There wasn't a single part that I didn't like.

This book is wonderful. I would highly recommend you pay the seven dollars to buy this book if you want to be transported.

If you want a book for $7 then this is the novel for you.

Natalie Babbitt's lyrical novel, Tuck Everlasting, needs to be read by a person with a large vocabulary and a love of language. Babbitt uses a lot of descriptive writing in order to help the reader understand the setting and the people with in it, but a reader who just wants to read for the plot will miss important meaning.

There are two families in the story--one is orderly, the other is messy. Winnie, from the orderly family feels trapped. She yearns to make a difference in the world. So she runs away and meets a family where she can feel comfortable, important and loved. Because she loves this family so much she is willing to put her own life at risk in order to save them.

I liked the romance that developed between Winnie and Jesse and I enjoyed the Tuck family because they are living their life to the fullest. This is a fabulous novel that everybody would enjoy.
