Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) "Someone will come for you, but first you must open your heart. . . ."
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 takes 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 hobo's camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling 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.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
This was a delightful children's tale about love, and how you can go from loving to losing your love, to loving again. It is a sweet story about a china rabbit who is loved and then lost by his little girl, Abilene. You follow the story of Edward as he is found by a fisherman, then tossed in the dump and picked up by a hobo and his faithful dog. Eventually he ends up in a doll shop and waits for years to be bought again.
You can purchase The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane through Amazon in either hard copy or Kindle format.
