Tuck Everlasting - Natalie Babbitt

Recommended for ages 5-18.

Tuck Everlasting is a gorgeous tale - a story in the truest sense of the world. It has magic, adventure, excitement, danger, conspiracy, love and a lot of great characters. Babbitt is a masterful writer, and she transports the reader to the curious world of the Tuck's. The Tuck family differs a little from others because of a mistake they made almost a century ago, when they unwittingly drank from the spring of eternal life.

When little Winnie discovers their secret she has to decide whether to stay silent and help the Tucks, and whether to join them in their eternal journey. Her choice will touch the heart of every reader.

There's so much to love in this book. There really is something for every age group. Youngsters will need someone's help to read the story, but ages 8-13 should manage on their own. Older readers and Twilight lovers, Babbitt was there first (minus the vampire vs werewolf thing).
