The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane 2 weeks ago.

• A timeless tale by the incomparable Kate DiCamillo, complete with stunning full-color plates by Bagram Ibatoulline, honors the enduring power of love. "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 hoboes' 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.

• "Once in a house on Egypt Street..."

  Edward Tulane was a china rabbit who was pampered, and preciously cared for by his owner, Abilene. Abilene bought Edward silk outfits and a pocket watch. As I read I thought Edward as a real person instead of a china rabbit. But Edward did not care for Abilene as she did for him, and Abliene's Grandmother saw this. One day, when Edward was accidently thrown overboard on a ship heading to England, his life turnsturned into a gripping adventure. He meets extraordinary people. Each naming him differently, each needing him in a different way. Every time Edward grows a mite closer to the person he was with, he suddenly gets ripped apart from himhis companions and to all that is familiar. Edward Tulane's heart keeps breaking and mending,mending; healing and then falling apart again. But think about it, don't ALL our hearts do that? But right when Edward thinks that loving is useless if you can't hold on to what you love, another hope comes along. Each time you turn the page, your curiosity climbs like a hike up Mount Everest . Now I can go on all day blabbing about Edward Tulane and his despereate search for the love of somebody, for it's only 10:00 AM right now. But after a while I think I'm going to get tired and I'll bet you'll get even more tired reading this synopsis. So I think I'lll stop here and have you hooked, okay? Well, go on into the bookstore or the library or whatever, and plunge into the gripping tale of Edward Tulane!
