Tuck Everlasting

Title: Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit

What is it About? A girl named Winnie Foster is bored with her life. So, she runs away in search of adventure. She goes through the woods and finds a boy drinking out of a spring on the ground. She asks the boy how old he his. He says that he is 104. He then hastily says that he is actually 17. Winnie says that she is thirsty and approaches the stream. The boy is alarmed and protests. His family appears out of the woods and takes Winnie away. What will happen next? Will Winnie be rescued? Who are these people?

What Did I Like About This Book? I like the life lesson that Winnie learns. Also, throughout the book, I wanted to keep reading, but at the end the book had a sense of finality. I felt satisfied with the ending of the story. 

What Didn't I Like About This Book? I didn’t like that it was a little sad at the end.

Does This Belong On My Cool Lane Or Not? I liked the plot of this book. I have learnt from my teachers about using "Show, Don't Tell" but here, the ending was "Told" in clear words. This book is fine by me, but it will be under strict watch by My Cool Lane Police forces.
