"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 turned 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 his companions and to all that is familiar. Edward Tulane's heart keeps breaking and 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!
