In college, as a Literature major, I had this unspoken habit at the beginning of every semester in the school bookstore: while browsing for the books I needed for my own classes, I would also tend to buy other books that I didn’t need for school, but rather for my own bookshelf. It would be another eight years before Tuck Everlasting would reenter my life and start making more sense to me. We also watched the 2002 film adaptation by Disney, starring Alexis Bledel and Jonathan Jackson, which I also fell in love with and watched several more times that year. There aren’t many books that I read in elementary school that I remember liking, but I loved Tuck Everlasting, and it was one of those unique reading experiences where you know something resonates with you but you aren’t old or mature enough yet to understand why. The first time I read Natalie Babbitt’s Tuck Everlastingwas in elementary school, 5th grade.
