![]() It’s definitely more Middle Grade, maybe even Children’s. Tuck Everlasting was suggested, and became one of our December picks, even though it’s not quite YA. We read a variety of Young Adult books and our theme for December was YA Classics. But I reread it again late last year for my book club. It blew me away! I thought it was such a cool concept. I read Tuck Everlasting as a kid, for school, and I read it not knowing what it was about. ![]() (So don’t read that synopsis above if you’re interested in reading the book!) Especially if you’re reading it for the first time as an adult. And when the synopsis tells you all about it, it kind of ruins the whole thing for you. I think the charm of Tuck Everlasting comes from not knowing about the plot before you read it. I was in no way compensated for this review.
