Booklist - 08/01/2025 Marking the fiftieth anniversary of the original novel, this graphic adaptation of the beloved classic will introduce new readers to the extraordinary story of Winnie Foster and her encounter with the Tuck family. Spurred into rebellion after a one-sided argument with a toad, Winnie takes off for the woods surrounding her home and comes across 17-year-old Jesse Tuck drinking from a mysterious spring. This chance meeting and the accidental kidnapping that follows bring her right into the bosom of the Tuck family and their secret: they never age or die. Lines from the original work are woven right into the illustrations, the opening lines painted into rays of sunlight. Warm pastel shades of ink and watercolor transport the reader into the sweltering summer days of August. A beautiful reintroduction to this timeless tale of beauty in life’s fleeting moments that closes with an image of an early draft in Babbitt’s hand and a conversation between the author-illustrator and Babbitt’s daughter, Lucy. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
