Have you ever heard of the story “Tuck Everlasting”? If not, read this summary. The story was about an immortal family called the Tucks. The setting was in a small rural town in Treegap in the 1800’s. The Tuck’s family is made up of Jesse, Miles, Mae, and Angus Tuck. The other characters are the strange old man in the jaunty yellow suit and Winnie Foster.
Winnie is introduced in the first chapter. She lives in a large home in Treegap. She lives with her mother and grandma, and she has no siblings. She has no one to talk to except for the old toad that she finds sitting on a log in her backyard. This is one of the reasons she wants to run away from home.
All of this information comes from the first three chapters. In the fourth chapter when Winnie is on her front porch, an old man in a jaunty yellow suit makes conversation with her. He asks her if she or her relatives have seen any passerby. Winnie’s mother comes outside to hear a music box and thinks it is elf music.
The next day, Winnie hears horse tracks coming down the way. But, before she could turn around she was lifted into a trolley. It was the Tucks! They calmed her down and told her an amazing secret; they said that they were immortal.
