Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt

 

imgresThe book that I am writing about is called Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. The book is about a girl named Winnie Foster that  discovers a secret from the Tucks family and is deciding to keep their secret or tell it to someone. Also the Tucks family goes on never ending  journeys and Winnie Foster is thinking to join them or to stay where she is. The setting of the book is in several places, on journeys with the Tucks family  and at home. The setting of the country but it  changes a lot throughout the book which sometimes gets confusing because you have to read very closely.

The three adjectives I would call Winnie Foster would be stubborn, because Winnie wouldn’t listen to her friends when they were trying to tell her something important which was she needed to go  and she wouldn’t listen at all and did what she wanted to do. Another adjectives I would describe Winnie Foster is positive because there is one part where Mae, someone that Winnie knows, was in jail and they were getting her out secretly without telling the cops. And a friend of Winne’s  comes up with a solution  to bail Mae out, the boy that made the idea up doubts himself and  Winnie says, ”The plan is going to work come on lets get Mae out.” The other adjective is caring,  because there was a toad and he was drying out because he didn’t have any water so Winnie gets a cup of water and sprinkles it on the toad so it can get water in his system.

 

An interesting part in the book was when Mae had a shotgun and shot a man in a yellow suit right through the back of his skull and he dropped like a tree. I thought that was interesting because why would Mae do that to a man that didn’t do anything to her?  Another interesting part in the book would be when they were bailing Mae out of the jail secretly because the cop was watching her in the cell. And the jail guard was keeping an eye on Mae and she escaped with no problem with the guard there.

 

I enjoyed the book a lot because Natalie Babbitt writes very descriptive manner and I can make a picture in my head and imagine that I am in the book. Also I think Natalie Babbitt is a fantastic writer, I love her books! Another reason I loved the book is because the Tucks family goes on never ending journeys and I think journeys can end up good or bad. So I like that she included some adventurous  features in the book. I would definitely recommend this book because if you like adventurous, and descriptive writing  then you are going to love the book absolutely! Tuck Everlasting reminds me of this television show called Once Upon a Time a little bit because in Once Upon a Time they have adventures and sometimes the show can have sad parts in it. I would give this book five ***** (stars) because I love the way Natalie Babbitt writes her books the  style of the descriptive writing. Natalie Babbitt has several different books and I think you should check them out!
