Summary of Tuck Everlasting:
Winifred "Winnie" Foster is a ten-year-old who is not satisfied with her
life. One day when she is wandering through her wood she comes upon a boy
who she automatically falls in love with. After having a conversation with
this boy whose name is Jesse Tuck, she finds herself being kidnapped by
Jesse's mother and brother. She soon finds out that the Tuck family are
immortals because they drank from water in Winnie's wood. Jesse is
seventeen, but he falls in love with Winnie anyway and asks her to become
immortal when she turns seventeen, so they can be together. Winnie will have
to make up her mind about becoming an immortal when she turns seventeen and
also help Jesse's mother get out of jail for kidnapping her. Will her love
for Jesse be strong enough to become an immortal and can she help Mrs. Tuck
escape from jail?
