I've actually read this book before, but it's one of my favorites, and since I have some other books by this author on my list, I decided to include it. The story is about a young girl, Winnie, who meets a family that drank froma spring and have now stayed the same age for eighty years. They don't hate their lives, but they make sure that Winnie knows the consequences of living forever: seeing everyone you know and love die, having to keep on the move to avoid discovery.
I love this story because Winnie gets the chance to learn this before she makes the mistake to following their example. The Tucks are great people, and if you had to live for eternity with one group of people, they would be almost ideal. But Winnie is smart enough to understand the downside of all this.
