As the novel progresses she keeps providing beautifully descriptive paragraphs and vivid nature descriptions that I felt are a great way to introduce children, as it is a children’s book, to lyrical prose. I believe Natalie Babbitt does an excellent job creating a humorous and moving story that draws the reader in on the first paragraphs. She decides to leave her life behind and explore the woods next door where she encounters the unusual Tuck family. Winnie lives a tightly controlled life, she is constantly checked on by her parents and grandmother so she yearns to see the world outside her gate. Tuck Everlasting is the timeless story of an eleven years old girl, Winnie Foster, who finds herself involved with a family who have mistakenly drank water from a spring and became immortal eighty-seven years ago.
