Doomed to-or blessed with-eternal life after drinking from a magic spring, the Tuck 
family wanders about trying to live as inconspicuously and comfortably as they can.

explain why living forever at one age is less a blessing that it might seem. This book is an 
interesting read for elementary school students with the story line that makes them ask 
questions about life in general.
