Tuck Everlasting – Natalie Babbitt

What if you could live forever?

Now, I want to give you a review of a book titled Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt. There may be some who have read this book and some have not been read this book.

This book tells the story of a family, Tuck Family, who accidentally drank water from magic spring that can make them live forever without being old. Is it a blessing or a curse? As a result, they live alone away from the settlement and they also keep the secret tightly. They closed the spring in order that no one had anything like them.

Until one day a girl named Winnie Foster, a daughter who has a magical forest where it had spring, met with the Tuck Family, Jesse Tuck, who has a secret. They met in a magical spring. When Winnie wanted to drink from that spring, Jesse forbid her. Then, Winnie was taken by the Tuck Family to their house to explain about their secret, which was to live forever without being old at all.

At first, Winnie did not believe the story. But she discovered new things that she could not have from her family in Tuck Family. Without realizing it, she was happy to live with the Tuck Family. Until finally, she had to part with Jesse and Tuck Family.

In the end, Winnie had to choose whether she wanted to live forever and be able to continue her life with Jesse whom she liked or had a normal life and died? It is very difficult decision for Winnie. Until the end she chose her own path.

A spring that can make life forever and never old? For those of you is this a blessing or a curse? Which one do you choose? Live forever and can not die or live a normal life and death at any time? In the end, it depends on ourselves.

This book is very fascinating, written in simple language which is easily understood and can be read by all ages. This book teaches us that living forever is not a blessing. Due to the Tuck family, it was a curse that they could not eliminate.

For me, this book gives a lot of messages. All choices have good and bad sides. So we should be wise in our choices. As did Winnie, in the end she has her own choice.

Thank you.. Have a nice reading.. J
