Tuck Everlasting is about a family whose last name is Tuck. The Tuck family was traveling when they found a spring and drank from it. The spring was not any old spring, it was a magical spring and whoever drank from it would live forever. The Fosters are another family in the story. They have a daughter who they protect like a gold. Fed up with her family's restrictions, one day she runs away. She meets the Tucks and stays with them for a month. During that time, she falls in love with their youngest son. He appears to be seventeen, but he's really a very old man.
I liked that the girl was brave enough to run away, but I found it creepy that she fell in love with a boy who had been on earth for 104 years. I think he should have been more honorable and not deceived her about his age. He was old enough to be her father or her grandfather. Yuck!
