In a way, yes it is, but I think it is quite different from
Bridge of Terabethia . The theme of
Tuck Everlasting is about
not being able to die after drinking magical water, the problems that it creates on the unknowing souls that drink it, and how they feel about living forever. IMO, that is the focus, not death itself.
Unlike
Bridge to Terabithia, where the theme is death, and how difficult death is for the people that are left behind. It especially deals with how younger people deal with and see death. It also deals with how their life's can continue afterward.
I see them as totally different, but that is just my opinion.
