The tuck everlasting book5/11/2023 And unhappy children’s literature? Every time I met an ambiguous ending or one that didn’t ascribe to my strict sense of how-a-story-should-end ( Stuart Little stands out in the mind) I was perturbed. Life was to be tied up in a neat little bow, thank you very much. Happy endings were far preferable to unhappy. I was a sensitive child, which is to say, a wimp. I did not think that I liked Tuck Everlasting when I was a kid. – Kristi HazelriggĪ beautiful story about mortality. Intense and powerful, exciting and poignant, Tuck Everlasting will last forever–in the reader’s imagination. To live forever–isn’t that everyone’s ideal? Babbitt asks profound questions about the meaning of life and death, and leaves the reader with a greater appreciation for the perfect cycle of nature. Imagine coming upon a fountain of youth in a forest. #16 Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt (1975)
