We bring you "Tuck Everlasting 40 Days for 40 Years" blog tour presented by Macmillan Publishing. A special edition of Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt was released on January 20th and author Gregory Maguire (Wicked) has penned a cool and touching introduction.  Some books come into our lives and go out of it soon after.

The story, its characters and a certain magical spring will forever remain etched in this reader's hea...
