Tuck Everlasting
Narrated by Peter Thomas
Written by Natalie Babbitt

Is eternal life a blessing or a curse? That is what young Winnie Foster must decide when she discovers a spring on her family’s property whose waters grant immortality. Members of the Tuck family, having drunk from the spring, tell Winnie of their experiences watching life go by and never growing older.

It is a beautiful story which invokes conversations about the life cycle, it's importance and why what we wish for is not always as great as it seems.

"This book is an emotional rollercoaster. I love this book with all my heart. I love the characters, and the way the plot develops. The twists and turns, the cliffhangers at every chapter, making you want to greedily keep reading."
