With the release of the movie Tuck Everlasting don't forget that we have a few expansion ideas on the web site for this classic. Get out copies of the book. Let those who haven't seen the movie yet have first turns at the copies but then others will want to look through to find differences with the movie. You can find our Tuck Everlasting materials at:
