Hello my lovely readers! Another day, another re-read. Let's get into it.
SYNOPSIS
What if you could live forever? In this timeless story young Winnie Foster learns of a hidden spring in a nearby wood and meets the Tuck family, whose members reveal their astonishing discovery of the spring’s life-changing power. Now Winnie must decide what to do with her newfound knowledge—and the Tucks must decide what to do with her. But it’s not just the curious girl who is interested in their remarkable tale. A suspicious stranger is also searching for the Tucks, and he will stop at nothing until he finds them and uncovers their secret.
MY THOUGHTS
This is incredibly deep for a children's novel! Were children in 1975 talking about immortality and death like that?
I watched the movie first in 2002 with my mom and fell in love with the story. Then I read the book and it helped fuel my interest into death and dying and this beautiful, strange thing we call life.
This was a quick and pleasant re-read, but my answer always remains the same: I would NEVER want immortality. Everything in life should have a beginning and an end....including ourselves. I'm looking forward to the day that I'm done with my earthly body and can join Jesus and my loved ones in the eternal afterlife.
But not anytime soon!
