Doomed to—or blessed with—eternal life after drinking from a magic spring, the Tuck family wanders about trying to live as secretly 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.
Made into a movie in 2002, this was one of Mrs. D.'s favorite books as a child.
