Tuck Everlasting question

I was thinking the point of view on the book Tuck Everlasting is in third person. The great thing about third person is that the narrator never doesn't see or hear what the characters are seeing and hearing. It is also a great thing to have third person in a book because the narrator can explain what the characters are saying and how they feel. Because in a first person book the character telling the story is not always going to stop and tell the reading what he is saying or the body language and description he sees.This is why i think the book is third person and is a good in the book. What do you guys think?
