I really liked this book! I liked it because I can relate to it in different ways. But the way I can relate to is it is by when Winnie gets in an argument with her parents. I get in arguments sometimes but when I do ;after the argument happens I go back in my room and just lay there and think about what I did and apologize. But this book brought me my attention just by how is said eternal life. But it is a great book because of how stories don't always end in a happy fairy tale; and this book is about love between two characters Jesse and Winnie. Also how the Tucks are hiding a secret that can cost them their life.

It all starts with Winnie, a young girl, who wanders into the forest of treegap. This is where she stumbles across the Fosters' family. She also ends up stumbling on their secret, but when a mysterious man wants to make a deal for this secret, Winnie is frightened. I give this book 3 stars because it wasn't anything special, but it was an ok book. Another reason I give it 3 stars is because the figurative language is hard to comprehend.

This is a really good book,it talks about a girl named Winnie and she runs away and finds a man drinking from a spring and Winnie wants too. But the man said no doesn't want her to drink from the spring because then she'll never die. So Winnie finds the Tuck family and stays with them then,she found this toad and started talking to it. She decided not to drink the water so she gave it to the toad and now he will never die. My connection to this book was that Winnie argued with her parents and sometimes I argue with mine. I gave it a 4 star because i thought it was a pretty good book and I enjoyed it but I would rather read something a little different.

I watched a tv-show not that long ago about people being everlasting called Once upon a time. This book is about a 10-year-old girl named Winnie. Winnie finds a boy (Jesse Tuck) in the woods drinking spring water. She questioned him then another lady comes up (mama Tuck). They continue to say they are related but for them to tell Winnie what's happening they need to take her someplace far. Winnie ends up at the Tuck's house and learns many secrets of theirs. She gets taught some lessons and gets stuck up for which causes a lot of problems for the Tucks. The rest of this book is them figuring out how to resolve them, and the obstacles to get to them. The ending has a different ending from most books and left off on quite a cliffhanger. My connection to this book is wondering what's going to happen when I become an adult and if I should wish to stay young.

This book is a great read and tells a great lesson, but the figurative language can be hard to comprehend. If you understand what you are reading, it makes a lot more sense. You have to read the paragraph again sometimes so you know that you got the information right. I relate to the book when you have so long with something before it has to go away.

This book is about a young girl who stumbles across a secret of the Tuck family. She now has a choice: protect the Tucks and don't tell anyone, or tell everyone and let the Tucks become advertisers for a man in a yellow suit. Winnie cares about the Tucks and wants to protect them, but the man in the yellow suit only cares about money. The Tucks work out ways to save themselves and Winnie. I think this book is good, but it can be boring and hard to understand. I relate to this book when I love something that I know will go away at some point.

This book is about a young girl named Winnie who sets off into the forest where she finds a young boy by the name Jesse. She is then kidnapped by Miles his brother and Mae his mom. They take her to their home for Angus Tuck to talk to her about the importance of not telling their secret. Winnie feels as if the Tucks are good people, but feels mixed about her emotions. She becomes close with the Tucks and understands why she must not tell anyone about the magic spring. Just when the Tucks decide it is time to take Winnie home soembody knocks on the door. Winnie has seen this person before, and is curious as to why they are here. Read Tuck Everlasting to find out what happens next. I connect with this book in the fact that I have had to let go of something that I know may never come back. Just as Winnie does with the Tucks

I had read this book in class .It was not the right book foor me but it was ok . It was about a family called he tuck family and the had everlasting life. This girl named winnie had ran away from home and meet the tucks . She had sayed with them and they warned her not to drink the water. read this book to find out what happens.

The Tuck family has one secret: they have been blessed with, or cursed with eternal life. They try to live as normally and backstage as they can. One day, Winnie Foster walks upon the secret. They now have to figure out what to do. Some bad things happen when a stranger follows Winnie and confronts her and the Tucks. I connected to this book because it reminded me of one time when I found out a special secret. I give this book 2 stars because the wording of the book was very hard to understand, and I in general didn't like it too much.
