Tuck Everlasting
This book really brightened up my day! It's about a girl who finds a trickle of water by a tree on her land, but it's not just any kind of water- there's something very special about it! This family made the mistake of drinking it, and they have to kidnap this girl and reveal their whole secret. This book is full of suspense and is sure to keep you reading.
