Doomed to—or blessed with—eternal life after drinking from a magic spring, the Tuck family wanders about trying to live as inconspicuously and comfortably as they can. When ten-year-old Winnie Foster stumbles on their secret, the Tucks take her home and explain why living forever at one age is less a blessing that it might seem. Complications arise when Winnie is followed by a stranger who wants to market the spring water for a fortune.

    Me gustó, aunque me hubiera encantado saber más sobre la decisión final de Winnie, pero supongo que ahí está la magia también, en hacer que el lector se lo cuestione como ella seguramente lo hizo a partir de lo que vivió y platicó con los Tuck.

Quotes

  • Banny Carolinahas quoted6 years ago
    Nothing ever seems interesting when it belongs to you—only when it doesn't.
  • Banny Carolinahas quoted6 years ago
    But dying's part of the wheel, right there next to being born. You can't pick out the pieces you like and leave the rest. Being part of the whole thing, that's the blessing
  • Banny Carolinahas quoted6 years ago
    Where would I go, anyway?" she asked herself. "There's nowhere else I really want to be." But in another part of her head, the dark part where her oldest fears were housed, she knew there was another sort of reason for staying at home: she was afraid to go away alone. It was one thing to talk about being by yourself, doing important things, but quite another when the opportunity arose.
