I was unable to put down this truly magical and heartwarming story of a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. It is written for kids ages 8-12 to enjoy, but I found it incredibly enjoyable myself, and I am definitely going to recommend it at my next book club meeting :) Whoever you are, you should read it too - you'll feel like a kid again!
"Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who treated him with the utmost care and adored him completely.
And then, one day, he was lost.
Kate DiCamillo and Bagram Ibatoulline take us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hoboes' camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle — that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again."- The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, edwardtulane.com
I still need to read this book. Maybe they have it in the TCU library? I will find out.
