The Fountain by Casey Scieszka reading appreciation It’s a lonely life"Casey Scieszka's debut novel is absolutely delicious, like Tuck Everlasting for grown ups. The premise is so good an immortal woman's search for the fountain of youth that the writing, crisp and funny, feels like an extra treat. An excellent debut." Emma Straub, bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow A propulsive and deeply moving novel about eternity and mortality that asks what it would mean to live forever.
