ABANDONED. I do not remember the name, please help. (Young Adult)

[Bruni]

I read this book about three years ago. The cover shows a young girl faced away. The book is about a little girl who meets a young man in a forest owned by her father. The girl sees the man drink water from a small waterfall. She then introduces herself and finds out his name was Jesse (or Jessie). She asks if she can also drink the water, but the man said that she shouldn't. It was after when the little girl met Jesse's family (his parents and brother), she finds out that water from the waterfall was magical. Whoever drinks it stops aging and becomes indestructible permanently. Jesse's family drank the water without knowing when they were younger. Jesse (who's youngest out of everyone) was a little over 100 years-old. The family has to separate and live in different places and stay there for about a decade. They leave before anyone questions why they haven't age and then meet up with each other again.

I've never read the book, but liked the movie.

Yeti, please add some of those plot details to your header, since we have thousands of members looking for children's books. The Group Rules are at the top of the group's home page.

Sounds like Tuck Everlasting to me too.

Still out there, Yeti?

I agree with everyone else. Gotta be Tuck Everlasting.

I'm with everyone else on it being Tuck Everlasting, also
