10 year old Winfred (or Winnie for short) lives in a small world. Being a single child with a strict grandmother and mom was exhausting. She one day heard the same tunes in the forest her grandmother heard decades ago. Someday she decides to run away to prove her frog friend wrong. Winnie ran into a stranger who seemed adamant about her not drinking from the small spring in her own forest. That's when she gets suddenly kidnapped by the Tucks, who are immortal from the springs water, but learns to warm up to them a little. She soon enjoys living with the Tucks and even defends them the best she could for her age and even helps the Tucks with their plans just to protect them. My favorite part was near the end, though. Near the end the Tucks revisit the town and even Winnie even if its not as it use to be anymore.You should read this is you're interested in slow stories that has possible love as a side plot and horrible murder, too.
