In school right now, we're reading this book called Tuck Everlasting. I really like it because there is a lot of description so it's easy to create pictures in your mind. The author, Natalie Babbitt, does a very good job of setting the scene. She often uses vivid details like "sunsets smeared with too much color" and "the melancholy creases folded his daytime face". The storyline of Tuck Everlasting is amazing and it feels like you're on the adventure with Miles, Jesse, Mae, Tuck, and Winnie!
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI loved Tuck Everlasting! Try to find Natalie Babbitt's other book The Search for Delicious. It's really good too. The book is about a young boy on a quest to find out what the people of the kingdom consider the most delicious food. The whole thing started when they were trying to find a definition for the word delicious for the dictionary. Since no one can decide on the correct definition, Gaylen is sent to poll the people of the kingdom. His adventure takes him to remote parts of the kingdom where he meets tree dwellers, dwarves, and a mermaid. It's a very magical book! You'll love it since you also liked The Castle in the Attic.
The Search for Delicious sounds familiar, not to mention a great book. I'll pick it up from the library. Thank you so much for commenting and for the book recommendation!
