4.0

A delightful read suitable for younger readers, with only a brief touch of violine. Tuck Everlasting follows Winnie on a short-lived adventure among the Tuck family, where she learns the value of a little chaos, and the reality of life and death and it's ever-turning cycle. Beautiful prose and descriptions with a short and gripping story. It's only shortcomings are that while the language and metaphor are both beautiful, they don't quite go as deep as I would look, and sometimes fall short of their potential.
