Oct 11, 2002 · October 11, 2002. 4 min read. “Tuck Everlasting” is based on a novel well known to middle school students but not to me, about a romance between two teenagers, one of whom is 104. It contains a lesson: “Do not fear death–but rather the unlived life.”. Wise indeed. But wiser still was Socrates, who said, “The unexamined life is not ...
The original Tuck Everlasting movie from the 70's is really good, too. It has a teen romance as well, but it feels a little more meaningful. Thing is, you can't say the 2002 version borders on Twilight when Twilight hadn't come out yet!

The story, originally set in 1880 but moved to 1914 for the movie, concerns a sheltered young girl from a well-to-do family who is called "Winifred" by her overprotective parents and grandmother, and might be called "Winnie" by her friends if she had any.

Parents say (8 ): Kids say (32 ): Disney has made a lovely film version of the book Tuck Everlasting, which is a perennial middle-school favorite.

Tuck Everlasting is a magnificent book and a masterpiece of literature regardless of the age it was written for. The movie and the Broadway show unfortunately didn’t live up to the source material and need not be sought out. { {The Giver}} by Lois Lowry is another book that is just as impressive even read as an adult.
