La familia eterna

Winnie Foster, ten, is tired of her strict family's rules and wanders into the woods behind her house, where she meets Jesse Tuck drinking from a spring. The Tuck family drank the same water eighty-seven years ago and have not aged since. They bring Winnie home to explain, hoping to keep their secret, and she begins to love them, until a stranger in a yellow suit who wants to sell the water starts following. Natalie Babbitt asks what it means to live forever and why death matters.

A gentle book for middle-grade children and for adults who like quiet fables. It generates conversations about life and time.

Contemplative and thought-provoking; an easy read.
