Winnie Foster在树林里，正想着离家出走，这时她看到一个男孩在喝泉里的水。她也想喝一口，但是，她还没来得及喝就被这个叫Jesse Tuck的男孩和他的家人绑架了。她知道了Tuck一家人自从喝了泉里的水之后，就长生不老了，这对他们来说也许是幸事，也许是不幸。为了尽可能不引起注意，他们不停地换地方生活。现在Winnie知道了他们的秘密。然而，永生的意义到底是什么呢？Tuck一家能来得及帮助她理解吗？

Winnie Foster is in the woods, thinking of running away from home, when she sees a boy drinking from a spring. Winnie wants a drink too, but before she can take a sip, she is kidnapped by the boy, Jesse Tuck, and his family. She learns that the Tuck family are blessed with - or doomed to - eternal life since drinking from the spring, and they wander from place to place trying to live as inconspicuously as they can. Now Winnie knows their secret. But what does immortality really mean? And can the Tucks help her understand before it's too late?

A beautiful paperback edition of the unforgettable classic of children's writing about what it truly means to live forever. Featuring illustrations by Melissa Castrillon.
