Rereading Tuck Everlasting As An Adult (A Review)

January 26, 2017

FTC Disclaimer: I borrowed a copy of this book from my library. I was in no way compensated for this review. Ignorance is Bliss… I think the charm of Tuck Everlasting comes from not knowing about the plot before you read it.

Review: The Square Root of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapgood
