From: Mariela Grade 5th Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	To: Carmen Hey Carmen, I could not belive that the stranger went to the Tucks house and wanted to take Winnie.I sure would be very scared if the stranger would come and knock on my door.To me its very scary that the stranger heard every word of the story that Mae was telling Winnie about the spring. And worst of all the stranger now wants to sell the water from the spring and using Winnie as an example. What do you think will happen to Mae?

From: Marco Grade 5 Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	To: Curtis I wonder what everybody is going to do when they find out about Mae and the Tucks living forever?

From: Fredrick Grade 5 Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	To: Kalia Do you like the book so far? It is geting really good.Do you like any particular parts in the story?The part when Mrs.Tuck hit the stanger with the back of the gun it was a funny and sad part.

From: Tracy Grade 5 Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	To: Mercy Hi Mercy.What I think about the book is that it is a good book.Do you think it will be a good idea for everybody to drink the water?What I think is that they should not drink the water because it will be crowded and I don't want some people to be giving away the secret about the water.What do you think about the book?What do you think is going to happen in the book?What I think the book is really about is that it is a romance and adventure book.Because it has a lot of cool adventure stuff and somethings about the book is romance.Do you think the book is going to end in a good ending or a sad ending?

But if I was Winnie I would drink the water because if something bad was to happen to me I would not be hurt.

From: Zoubia Grade 5 Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	To: Curtis I think the book rocks because in the book it says that there is a spring that lets you live for ever and the books name is Tuck everlasting.

From: mercy Grade 5th Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	To: mary what do you think is going to happen next in chapter 22 and 23? I think Mea is going to escape and will take Winnie and all of the Tucks and move away.And Jesse will marry Winnie and have babies and thier own family and move a way and they will drink the water forever.Their kids will drink too. Then every one will die except for the Tucks and Winnie.Do like th book so far?

From: Tomy Grade 5th Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	To: Kiera Sorry it took so long for me to answer.I think I'd just yell out stop and run away,I woudln't trust the Tucks family.

From: Adam Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary School Petoskey, MI	To: Sandra I don't think that Mae will get broke out of jail because she will stay alive forever right?

From: Taylor, Rachel Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary School Petoskey, MI	To: Marie We think that Mae took Winnie so she could explain why she couldn't drink from the spring. It's not like kidnapping because Mae had a reason to take her. We don't think that Mae would want to harm her because we think that Mae is very nice.

From: Justin Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary School Petoskey, MI	To: Chabeli I think the man in the yellow suit will die from lead poisoning from the bullet. Then Mae will get jailed and sentenced to death. But she will live longer and longer until she outlives everybody. What do you think the towns people will say if that happens next?

From: Adam Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary School Petoskey, MI	To: Carmen Do you think that it was smart for Mae to hurt {or kill} the man in the yellow suit? Would you have done that if you were responsible for keeping Winnie safe? What do you think is going to happen to Mae?

From: abby Grade 5 Centennial School Plano, IL	To: rachel I think the man in the yellow suit would take Winnie hostag so that the Tucks would tell were the water is in the wood.Now that he has the wood.Whos your favorite caricter? Have you read ch. 15-17?If you have read it ,the only reoson he told Winnies parents was so he could get the wood.

From: Shelly Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary School Petoskey, MI	To: Mary I wouldn't really care if they were going to hang me,well I would but not that much because I could not die.I would try to do anything to prevent myself from that happening.What about you? How would you feel? Do you think the man in the yellow suit will live? I have a little prediction that the man in the yellow suit drank the spring maybe, but of course it's just a prediction. What is your favorite character? Mine is or was the man in the yellow suit because he made me feel curious about the book and what was going to happen next. What is your favorite setting in the story and why? Mine is the wood because the way Natile Babbit described it because she made the wood sound so real and so interesting.

From: Kyle,Chris,Eileen,and Israel Grade 5 Centennial School Plano, IL	To: Everyone What do you guys think will happen next? We are going on to chapter 22. What chapter are you going on? We think Mae will go to the gallows and try to hang Mae. P.S. What do you think Winnie's plan is?
