Tuck Everlasting
Natalie Babbitt, 1975
A girl discovers a family who will never grow old, and must decide what forever is worth. A slim fable about time, choice and the cost of staying the same.

Tuck Everlasting was a 1976 Newbery Honor Book and has stayed in print for half a century, though Babbitt is also known for her illustrations in dozens of children's books.
Feels like morality, wonder and time.
What it means to be one turn of a wheel that never stops.
Everything’s a wheel, turning and turning, never stopping. The frogs is part of it, and the bugs, and the fish, and the wood thrush, too. And people. But never the same ones. Always coming in new, always growing and changing, and always moving on. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. That’s the way it is. Books by Natalie Babbitt
