The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo, while I'd somehow never read, even though I've read most of Kate DiCamillo's other books. It's about a china rabbit named Edward Tulane who was owned and loved by a girl named Abilene. Then one day, he becomes lost--and the book follows his journey from the ocean to a garbage dump to a home, from owner to owner to owner. And, as the book jacket explains, "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."
This is a really sweet book. It's a quick read but is filled with lots of detail and emotion. It was actually a pretty sad book at times but also inspiring to see how this rabbit toy could bring joy to the lives of so many during their time with him. I thought it was a beautifully written book that make you want to keep reading the whole way through.
Rating: * * * (3/3 = Loved it)
