MESSAGE: Yo Ryan, If you don't mind my asking, what is your definition of a true story? People drinking water from a magic spring and never getting older or changing? Write back. |

MESSAGE: dear Shante', Teh stranger is a pretty clever guy. I think he will make money off of it. teh town will go crazy. First, he might drink it himself, to make sure he gets some first you know. I don't trust him. Like the Tucks said, everyone will go wild. They will be in trouble. I have finished reading 13-14 and am reading on. RESPOND!!! |

MESSAGE: Dear Nena, We finished chapters 13-14. I think Winnie will make the right decisions, after talking with Angus Tuck and the talk about Jesse and here maybe getting married later. She now understands it. The stranger i think will make a profit off the spring, and let himself drink a whole gulp first. I mean he is a very clever and sly man. We don't really know exactly what he'll do. I LOVE all he figurative language in the book. It is a good way to get a picture of something in your mind. Please RESPOND!!!!! [anyone not just Nena!!] |

FROM: Christen and Melissa Grade 6 CRMS Sewell, NJ |
MESSAGE: To Lauren S.: Dick Tracy and the stranger are alike. They both wear yellow suits, but Dick Tracey is good. I think the stranger is very evil! Winnie misses the Toad when she is at the Tucks'. She should name the Toad...Tommy the Toad! The stranger has gotten the woods. I hope those old Tucks stop him. {P.S. The toad is cute. The yellow suits are VERY ugly. He should get a new look. He should shave, too! - Melissa |

MESSAGE: Hi!!! I think it was weird how Jesse asked Winnie to marry him! I wouldn't want to marry someone that I hardly even knew!I guess he just dosn't want the same thing to happen to him that happened to Miles. If I were Winnie, I would run away from the Tuck's and go back home I would return of course I wonder if winnie will drink from the spring when she's 17 and marry Jesse!!!!!!! |

FROM: Deanna and Sage Grade 6 CRMS Sewell, NJ |
MESSAGE: Dear Shante' We think the stranger will blab and drink the water. We are reading chapters 16-17 tonight. What chapter are you on? We think the book is okay. At first it was a little boring but now it's getting more suspenceful. And do you think the Fosters will really give the stranger the woods. We think there's a good chance that they will. And do you think that Winnie will wait till she's 17 to drink the water and marry Jesse. We think she might because she likes Jesse so much. Write back:) |

FROM: Mrs. Haberkern Grade 6 Stony Brook Branchburg, NJ |
MESSAGE: My class is reading chapters 16 and 17. We are a bit ahead of the game. Why do you think the the toad keeps re-appearing? I thought Tuck's explanation to Winnie (chapter 12)was wonderful. The entire idea of life and death has become very important. What are your thoughts about this topic? Winnie doesn't want to die. But as Tuck explained, dying is part of life. A part of life the Tuck's will never experience. They are rocks on the side of the road! Is Winnie beginning to understand? P.S. Are you enjoying this book as much as we are? |

FROM: Caitlin and Eleni Grade 6 Chestnut Ridge Middle School Sewell, NJ |
MESSAGE: We think this book is getting better and better every chapter! It is a little too descriptive. Why doesn't the book name the stranger? Will Winnie wait six years to drink the spring and marry Jesse? What will Winnie's Dad do to the Tucks when he meets them to get Winnie back? What do you think? Please write back soon! |

MESSAGE: Dear Sam and Maria.... Wuz up to all my fellow Tuck readers!! I think the book is intresting! Winnie and Jesse should get married. The way Jesse purposed to Winnie was awesome and sooo romantic!!hahaha...Mae and Tuck are really nice people. You would think that Tuck was a really mean or grumpy person, since how he woke up that day. But he talked to winnie in a nice way. He told her a lot about the Spring and how important it is to not tell ANYONE about it!!So Mer why don't you like it. I think it is soo cool because it always leaves you at your seat... Do you think you would drink form the Spring...I would... But maybe when i was older!!Well, babes, g2g about now! So i will talk to you later!! Make sure someone responds back to me!! LIKE MARIA OR SAM... but any one can Ally |

MESSAGE: Hey Boo Thanks for the letter, What chapter are you on now we are on chapter 16 and 17. Do you still think that Winnie will marry Jesse? We do because we think that they are flirting with each other Do you still think the book is interesting we kinda do but it is kinda boring! What do you think is in the water to make them look the same forever? Do you think the man in the yellow suit(the stranger)is going to tell the Fosters who have winnie. We think the story is boring because it has no interesting thoughts! |

MESSAGE: Dear Doug and Lance, We think the book is cool and ok. This is beacause it's very interesting yet some chapters are boring, such as chap 13. All the stranger does is knock on the door. We also like it because of all the figurative languge. We think that some of your responses are dipolable(bad). |

FROM: Kristin and Lauren D. Grade 6 CRMS Sewell, NJ |
MESSAGE: We think that the stranger wants to buy the woods just to get the spring water. Everyone would want to buy it!!! The stranger would make a lot of money off of that water! That's why the Tuck's want to keep it a secret, we think. I wonder if Winnie will drink the water just for Jesse, when she is 17? She likes Jesse so much. We think that she will drink the water. After all, in the beginning when she first saw Jesse, didn't she say he was beautiful? Please respond!!!!! |

MESSAGE: Dear Tiffany E. and Class, Very interesting! I'm thrilled that you took the time to read back over the Anticipation Guide (wksht # 8) to see if you agree with your original responses. What do you think it says about a book or an author if they can make you change your mind or vary your opinion? Does it MAKE you THINK? Mrs. Morris |

MESSAGE: Dear Christen and Melissa[anyone else too!!!!], I know, i meant he is sly and dressed like Dick Tracy, BUT the stranger is EVIL! I like the toad. I think the name is great. I still wonder if he has an affect on the outcomes. He helps Winnnie by giving her something to look for everyday. She feels happy and knows he can't and wouldn't hurt her. Right now, if I were Winnie i would feel like i need to watch my back. ANYONE RESPOND!! |

FROM: Lauren S. Grade 6 CRMS Sewell, NJ |
MESSAGE: Hey Deanna and Rachel, That was sweet,how Jesse proposed. I think Winnie will marry him too. She doesn't have the same affection toward Miles like she does Jesse. Any ways ten years gives her time to think it over. Jesse also knows Woinnie knows about the spring and he won't run into the trouble Miles had. Mrs. morris is *great* teacher. she knows everything because she read the book alot, every year,going over it again and again. The constable in chapter 16 reminds me of the one in "Mary Poppins", plump,jolly,and hard to conivince. bye |

MESSAGE: Mrs. Morris, I looked back at WKSHT. 8 and i didn't check the one Tiffany did I did what you said and decided to think it over and decided that life needs surprises. That makes me think i should "live my life the fullest". Natile Babbit did change other of my opinions though. It must be pretty cool to watch generations begin and die, i thought. The book made me think of the POSITIVE things you don't really think of. Like what will people think, people wil find out because some of the people in this world are getting smarter everyday and are more investigative. People would want ot profit it. YOu would make front covers of the phony newspapers and people would thnik it is just another *nutty* story, and YOU were nuts. Well, anyone interested in my comments or would like to tell me your own opinion, PLEASE RESPOND!! |
