Tuck Everlasting

Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book aloud to 4th grade for the Global Read Aloud Project in October. I absolutely loved it. It took the students awhile to get "into it" but when we got about halfway through they were always disappointed when we had to stop. The concept of living forever is very thought-provoking for students to discuss and the author does a great job of leaving chapters at cliff-hangers. Some of the vocabulary and writing style is older and was hard for students to understand, but once we discussed it, they were able to catch on. This book also has a lot of scenes that are great for imagery and visualization.
