Boys will like the mysterious spy who follows the group and tries to uncover the Tucks’ big secret. Girls will like the fairy tale overtones, with Jesse as the charming prince and Winnie’s discovery of the Fountain of Youth. As Winnie becomes more and more involved with the Tucks, and a deadly crime is committed, Winnie must decide whether or not she wants to experience life forever onwards. The Tucks kidnap Winnie-though she goes willingly-after telling her their story. After drinking from the spring near their house, they never aged another day. Mae, Angus, Miles and Jesse let Winnie in on an extraordinary secret.
She wanders through the woods and comes across Jesse Tuck, a handsome young boy, who introduces her to his family. "The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses its turning." This magical tale about drinking from a spring of immortality centers on a ten-year-old girl, Winnie Foster, who longs for freedom outside her parents’ fenced-in yard.
