About this listen
Introduced by New York Times-bestselling author Gabrielle Zevin, a special 50th Anniversary Edition of the beloved children’s classic with more than more than 10 million copies sold.
From Newbery Honoree and E. B. White Award-winning author Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting is a spellbinding modern-day masterpiece about immortality, friendship, and growing up that’s sure to be an all-time favorite for every generation.
What if you could live forever? In this timeless story young Winnie Foster learns of a hidden spring in a nearby wood and meets the Tuck family, whose members reveal their astonishing discovery of the spring’s life-changing power. Now Winnie must decide what to do with her newfound knowledge—and the Tucks must decide what to do with her. But it’s not just the curious girl who is interested in their remarkable tale. A suspicious stranger is also searching for the Tucks, and he will stop at nothing until he finds them and uncovers their secret.
A staple on home bookshelves and in classrooms and libraries for half a century, Tuck Everlasting is brought to life for new listeners and long-time fans in this dazzling deluxe edition, which includes a foreword from the New York Times-bestselling author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Gabrielle Zevin; an afterword from Natalie Babbitt’s daughter; and more never-before-heard bonus material.
Praise for Tuck Everlasting:
“Probably the best work of our best children's novelist.”―Harper's
“Exciting and excellently written.”―The New York Times Book Review
“A fearsome and beautifully written book that can't be put down or forgotten.”―The New Yorker
©2024 Natalie Babbitt (P)2024 Macmillan AudioCritic reviews
“This book is as shapely, crisp, sweet, and tangy as a summer-ripe pear.”—Entertainment Weekly
“With its serious intentions and light touch the story is, like the Tucks, timeless.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“Rarely does one find a book with such prose. Flawless in both style and structure, it is rich in imagery and punctuated with light fillips of humor. The author manipulates her plot deftly, dealing with six main characters brought together because of a spring whose waters can bestow everlasting life. . . . Underlying the drama is the dilemma of the age-old desire for perpetual youth.”—The Horn Book Magazine
