description: "Problemente el mejor trabajo de nuestro mejor novelista para niños." ― Harper's"Un libro escribito bellamente y con respeto, que no se puede interrumpir ni olvidar." ― Jean Stafford, The New Yorker"Condenada a―o bendecida con―vida eterna después de beber el agua de un manantial encantado, la familia Tuck deambula tratando de vivir lo mas inadvertida y cómodamente posible. Cuando Winnie Foster, una niña de diez años, descubre su secreto, los Tucks la llevan a su casa y le explican por qué vivir eternamente sin envejecer no es en realidad una bendición. Las cosas se complican cuando un extraño que ha seguido a Winnie quiere poner a la venta el agua del manatial por una fortuna." ― School Library Journal , estrella"Raramente se encuentra un libro con prosa tan clara. Perfecto en estilo y estructura, es rico en imágenes y está salpicado con ligeros chasquidos de humor." ― The Horn BookUn libro en Espa ñ olLibro Notable de la ALASpanish translation of the story of the Tuck family, doomed to - or blessed with - eternal life after drinking from a magic spring.The Tuck family wanders about trying to live as inconspicuously and comfortably as they can. When ten-year-old Winnie Foster stumbles on their secret, the Tucks take her home and explain why living forever at one age is less a blessing that it might seem. Complications arise when Winnie is followed by a starnger who wants to market the spring water for a fortune.“Rarely does one find a book with such prose. Flawless in both style and structure, it is rich in imagery and punctuated with light fillips of humor. The author manipulates her plot deftly, dealing with six main characters brought together because of a spring whose waters can bestow everlasting life. . . Underlying the drama is the dilemma of the age-old desire for perpetual youth.” ― The Horn Book
