The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo
5.0
DiCamillo is a genius. I don’t know how the same person who wrote [b:Because of Winn-Dixie|357664|Because of Winn-Dixie|Kate DiCamillo|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1456871914s/357664.jpg|25169] wrote [b:Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures|16052012|Flora & Ulysses The Illuminated Adventures|Kate DiCamillo|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1424980670s/16052012.jpg|26323812] and wrote this. All of her books that I have read are so different but phenomenal! Libbie’s school librarian recommended that I read this one aloud to her, so we did over the course of a couple months.
Edward Tulane is a sort-of updated Velveteen Rabbit. Edward is a beloved china rabbit doll in the possession of Abilene. When Abilene loses Edward while on a cruise, he sinks to the bottom of the ocean. From there, we follow Edward from owner to owner, year after year, as he discovers what it means to belong to someone and even to love them.
The gorgeous characters DiCamillo writes – from an old woman who dresses him up in frilly dresses, to a hobo, to a sick little girl – are all vibrant and memorable. Absolutely loved reading this. It will break your heart but be one you remember.
