A Kid's Review

This review is from: Literature Circle Guides: Tuck Everlasting (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)

This book is about Winnie Foster and how she meets and befriends the Tuck family, an understanding blessed or cursed family that has a secret. When a yellow suited stranger finds out the Tuck's secret, they have to fight to keep the world from disaster. This is a book is a wonderful book that makes you think. It also makes you wonder what would happen if this book were true.

I really recommend this book!!!

This review is from: Literature Circle Guides: Tuck Everlasting (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)

This book kinda of made me cry I could easiley relate to this book to have a place to go to when I'am feeling sad,happy,or mad.whatever the price I'am still glad
This book Tuck Everlasting Reminds me of The Secrect Garden or Alice in Wonder to lift up your imagenation in full flight.I think she really was scared when being kidnaped and takin it away frome her home. If someone ever kidnapped me I would be so mad I might even try to escape. But I think she liked her foster parentS.They cared about her very much. But she hated being being wacth all the time by the that old hag all the time but.I also like that she telling the story from her point of view not anyone elses.Natile Babbit really put forth efort in this book i give it ***** five stars for its fantsy like theme. ...

This review is from: Literature Circle Guides: Tuck Everlasting (Grades 4-8) (Paperback)

I read Tuck Everlasting in my reading group and I loved it. Natalie Babbit is so descriptive that it is like I am in the book. One of my favorite parts in the book is when Pa and Winny are in the rowboat and tuck says "Know what happens then? "To the water? The sun sucks some of it up right out of the ocean and carries it back in clouds, and then it rains, and the rain falls into the stream, and the stream keeps moving on, taking it all back again. It's a wheel, Winny. Everything's a wheel, turning and turning, never stopping. The frogs is part of it, and the bugs, and the fish, and the wood thrush,too. And people. But never the same ones. Always coming in new, always growing and changing, and always moving on. That's the way it's suppost to be. thats the way it is."..."It goes on, to the ocean. But this rowboat now, it's stuck. If we didn't move it out ourself, it would stay here forever,trying to get loose, but stuck. That's what us Tucks are, Winny. Stuck so's we can't move on. We ain't part of the wheel no more. Dropped off Winny, left behind." I love the way Babbit compares things like the wheel of life to the rowboat. Many other parts in the book show a whole lot of detail.In conclusion, this is an AWESOME book!!!
