Jess, How do you like the book so far? It is very discriptive in the 2nd chapter. It is funny when Mae Tuck was discribed as a potato. Write back soon.

HI! What do you think of the book so far? Brittany wants to drink from the magical spring, and would like to stay at 21 years. What age would you like to be if you drank from the spring, and why? What do you think of Mae Tuck? Wouldn't Mae's husband called Tuck Tuck? It's wierd! Write back!

Ryan B.,
That was a really good question! We are not sure why she only visits them every 10 years. Mrs. Haberkern is a VERY NICE teacher. She's only 20! Isn't that so cool! What's your teacher like?
