Natalie Babbitt’s Tuck Everlasting is a book about a 10 year old girl, Winnie Foster, who meets a family, the Tuck’s, who are immortal. They have some happy and sad experiences with each other. I believe that Natalie Babbitt’s text Tuck Everlasting is better than Disney’s film Tuck Everlasting because it puts more suspense, it has a better characterization basis, and it puts greater imagery into your mind.
