A New York Times bestseller!
A classic tale by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo, America’s beloved storyteller.
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 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 bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. Along the way, we are shown a miracle — that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.
Featuring black-and-white illustrations and a refreshed cover by Bagram Ibatoulline.
A heartwarming story
"When I read this book with my class and teacher, we all loved it. It had a beautiful message to be selfless, and not selfish, and to say “I love you” to people before it’s too late. The plot or storyline was amazingly organized with the placement of events. In the story a china rabbit doll of course named Edward Tulane, was on the Queen Mary ship for a cruise with his original owners, Abilene who a few days earlier had turned eleven, and her parents. In the book Edward goes on a journey with a bunch of different owners every once in a while, but so I don’t spoil it for you all, I'll leave it at that because I want you to enjoy it as much as me and my class did. I recommend this book to nine year olds and up as it has tragic scenes, but overall the book was amazing! In my opinion every library, home, classroom and school, it truly is a wholesome story that shows true power, friendship and love. If I could I would force everyone to read and buy it, but again, that’s illegal and if I did that I would probably go to jail, but if the jail had this book then I wouldn't mind. Everyone deserves to enjoy a good book, even prisoners, back to Edward, he travels around the world, and at first he wants nothing to do with love but towards the end he wants everything with love heck I think he wants all the love for himself. Sometimes he wishes he had wings so he could help the people he loved. I can’t explain how much I loved this book with words, like I previously stated this book is a wholesome book and it’s definitely in my top three books. Anyways amazing storyline and everyone but I mean EVERYONE should buy this book. I give it 5 out of 5 stars because I usually think every book can improve but this book has no criticism and, sure it could improve with a series but I'm truly at a loss for words of criticism. It had great cliffhangers, it had miracles, and I just hope you enjoy it as much as me, and my class. This review is pretty long so I’ll leave it at that."
