Tuck Everlasting: The Graphic Novel

Tuck Everlasting is one of my top ten favorite books of all time, so it's hardly surprising that this beautiful illustrated adaptation will be one of my top ten reads of the year. The original tells the story of eleven-year-old Winnie Foster, who runs away to a nearby wood in pursuit of adventure and finds it in the form of the immortal Tuck family, who drank from the wood's enchanted spring nearly a century before. Woodman-Maynard's gorgeous watercolor vision captures and enhances what I loved about the original: the restless and languid feel of a childhood summer, the thoughtful conversations about mortality, and that ending. A timeless treasure.
