Tuck Everlasting - Softcover

"Beautiful and descriptive language is the strength of Babbitt's fantasy about Winnie and her encounter with the Tuck family, who cause her--and readers--to ponder an important question: What would it be like to live forever?" --Booklist

"Probably the best work of our best children's novelist." --Harper's

"A fearsome and beautifully written book that can't be put down or forgotten." --The New Yorker

"Exciting and excellently written." --The New York Times Book Review

"Natalie Babbitt's great skill is spinning fantasy with the lilt and sense of timeless wisdom of the old fairy tales. . . . It lingers on, haunting your waking hours, making you ponder." --The Boston Globe

"With its serious intentions and light touch the story is, like the Tucks, timeless." --Chicago Sun-Times

"This book is as shapely, crisp, sweet, and tangy as a summer-ripe pear." --Entertainment Weekly
