What is Tuck Everlasting about?
Doomed to—or blessed with—eternal life after drinking from a magic spring, the Tuck family wanders about trying to live as inconspicuously and comfortably as they can. When ten-year-old Winnie Foster stumbles on their secret, the Tucks take her home and explain why living forever at one age is less a blessing that it might seem. Complications arise when Winnie is followed by a stranger who wants to market the spring water for a fortune. Natalie Babbitt’s career began in 1966 with the publication of a picture book, The Forty-Ninth Magician, a collaboration with her husband, Samuel Fisher Babbitt. Her first novel, The Search for Delicious, established her ability to write magical tales with a more profound meaning. Kneeknock Rise earned her a Newbery Honor Medal, but it is Tuck Everlasting which has insured Babbitt’s place in the history of children’s literature. Babbitt has written six more novels including The Eyes of the Amaryllis and Goody Hal. Her latest novel, Jack Plank Tells Tales, was published in spring of 2007. Babbitt lives in Providence, Rhode Island, and is a grandmother of three. ALA Notable BookHorn Book FanfareChristopher Award for Juvenile FictionUnited States Honor
