~aleksandra~ ;-) writes the following about Tuck Everlasting :

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live forever?
Surely, the Tucks' haven't. Life was great until Mae, Miles, Jesse,&
Tuck drank from the special spring in the woods of Treegap. At first none of them realized that they weren't aging, but after a few years, Mile's wife did. While she was going onto forty and growing grey hairs..Miles on the other hand still looked the same as he did twenty years ago.
~Wichcraft was the answer, or wasn't it...

One by one the Tucks' discovered their problem, after a while they got used to it and went on with their sober life..forever. The Tucks' were especially careful that no one would discover them and the spring, and all was well until young Winnie Foster left her peaceful home one day in search of an adventure, but what she didn't know was that with her adventure, came along the Tucks' and their remarkable secret. With that secret Winnie face the fundamental choice she needs to make. "What she chooses at last isn't what she might have chosen at first. For when you have known the Tucks' as Winnie has, however briefly, you can never be quite the same again."
This book shows remarkable character, and the many wonders that lie within our world, it shows how friendship could change a person's life within a couple of hours.

In this book two curious stories cross near the village of Treegap, which are a mixture of love, violence, passion, anguish, and tranquility. If you like to see beyond your reach, and think with your heart instead of your mind, be sure to read this book, because it changes your perspective of life and others that make it worthwhile.
*This truly is a fantastic book that everyone, young and old should read!
